saying the Farenheit scale is stupid is like critizing madam curie for taking lousy xrays instead of doing a 10 minute color enhanced 3D MRI.

Yeah, the bitch was just too cheap to get the best🙂

make 32 as the melting point of water, 100 as your own personal temperature, and voila.
Unfortunately the guy had a little fever when he did it, so the average body temperature is really 98F...
What's the sense of this scale? It's the least scientific thing I know... And why the hell some still use it??
It works for me. Don't worry you do not have to use it. I also use the English units to measure things.

I don't think it makes much difference, it's just what a population has gotten used to. In ancient times, an inch was defined as the width of the Pharoah's thumb, pretty arbitrary but that's what it was and hey, get used to it🙂
