Er.. em... i.. Dont know, Haha it sounds like something everyone should know

 

[blarghblarghhhhh]

it's all in the title. what is temperature? I know that it's "hot" today but, I mean, what are thermometers measuring?

EDIT: Ah, I see bolding the titles doesn't work around her, eh? Damn you internet gerbils!

EDIT2: Okay, so people seem to be saying that it's little molecules and stuff moving. So, does that mean if I run along side them and go the same speed that I heat up or do they seem cold then? If we're going the same speed are they absolute zero or do we both have to be stopped for that to happen?

it depends upon the temperature. your average temp is 98.5 but if its 98.5 degrees out you will feel hot.
