The Pants Index

Posted by Steven Garrity on - 8 comments

A suggested addition to the daily weather report. It is a scale that goes from 1 to 2, with 2 being “pants”.

The Pants Index
1 (low) Don’t Wear Pants
2 (pants) Wear Pants

Sounds like an offshoot of my favourite weather website, http://www.doineedajacket.com/ (note: you need to visit it using IE for full effect.)

I concur. As I only wear pants if absolutely need to this index would allow for less mistakes.
