Three Dog Night

I don't know how much it is actually used, but I believe the number of dogs you would have sleep with you to keep warm is used as an informal measure of nighttime low temperatures. AmigoNico (talk) 16:58, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If Proof strange enough to be here?

I'm not sure if Proof, the unit of measurement for measuring alcohol by volume in beverages, is fitting for this page. Sure, it's uncommon outside of the bartending or other alcohol related fields, but in my opinion it doesn't feel quite as strange as most of the rest in here 2603:7080:9200:D1C2:FDDD:BF28:F42:A078 (talk) 01:28, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
