You guys are trying to make sense out of a random off-topic comment I foolishly made, about it being 1372 in Los Angeles. If you need me to rationalize it, I'll say.... um..., that it's an octal number and the units are deciKelvins. I think that comes out to 91 degrees Fahrenheit, which was the temperature around midnight in some areas around here. So I can pretend it was intended to be precise all along. 
Here's a good place to put a cross-reference to the Wacky units of measurement thread!
