True, but living in the great white gives us certain advantages.
For example, anyone who's in the middle of winter in canada can go to someplace moderately warm and be perfectly happy swimming in an unheated pool when it's 20-22 degrees C, or walking around in shorts in the 12-15C range.
The flip side of course is that, at least to me, anything over +35 is essentially 'taunting death' territory.
