>100 is really damn hot,

It's actually supposed to be the body temperature. Due to imprecise measurements, it's actually having a light fever. Flip note: C scales the same - 0 is the water freezing point, and then you have the same scaling as F but in 5s instead of 10s. [and you gotta remember: (f-2pow5)*5/9].

That's an old debate, yet if you are born/used to C, F is pretty horrific.

I forgot to mention that I'm Swedish and use C daily, I just think the F scale makes more sense for humans
