Quiet Man Cometh
We're all mad here.
Celsius decided to set 0 degrees at water's freezing point so yeah, it's cold.
I think Fahrenheit set 0 degrees at the coldest measurable temperature at the time. Thus it seems a little arbitrary now, but made sense back then.
It would be nice if the degrees were the same size though. Not sure how they decided what the difference between degrees would be on either side.
Tea?
