Michael Moore Agrees to Change Fahrenheit 9/11 to Celsius 488
Relenting to the objections of author Ray Bradbury, in regard to the "lifting" of the title of his sci-fi classic, Fahrenheit 451, Michael Moore has agreed to change the title of his new movie, Fahrenheit 9/11, to Celsius 488.
"It's amazing," said Moore," Ray pointed out that Fahrenheit 451 translates into Celsius 233. 233 is the exact number of days the Bush Administration was in office before the 9/11 attacks. Of course I had to make the change to 488.
"Not only that, but the last two numbers of the Celsius conversion are multiples of 11, as in 9/11," Moore continued." It's so eerie it all must be true. Ray was onto something with his 1950s book. So when he explained the numerology to me, I had an epiphany and made the change. It was obvious."
For his part, Bradbury said that he would have said anything to Moore to get him to change the title of Fahrenheit 9/11.
"If Moore believes the crap I fed him about Fahrenheit 451 and that Celsius 233 stuff, he's dumber than I thought." said Bradbury.
When it was pointed out to Bradbury that he was right in saying that 233 was the number of days the Bush Administration was in power before the 9/11 attacks, Bradbury said, "Maybe I was onto something after all. I need to look into Celsius 488. Hmmm...maybe there's a movie here."
