        F Is easy. 32F is freezing, 0 is the freezing point of a saturated solution of calcium chloride and sodium chloride brine, and 100F was meant to be average human body temperature but Fahrenheit was removeded and he used a horse instead, so now F is perfect for horses.

      Down voted because person can’t do math. Expects an American publication to cater to Euro-centtric designation.

        The article lists Celcius first in the body of the text, with a Fahrenheit translation in parenthesis. The title then uses only Fahrenheit.

        I assume the comment was meant to indicate, pick a unit of measure and stick to it. As opposed to Fahrenheit at the top, and Celcius in the body. Not to antagonize the use of Fahrenheit in general.

        Also, stating that the use of Celcius is Euro-centric is a little awkward:

        America lost the right to tell other people about units of measurement when it elected someone who’s concience can’t be measured by any of them.
