I never had a feel for Fahrenheit. It didn't really matter to me as a
kid what the outside temperature was beyond whether I needed to wrap
up warm or not. It was only when I started science at school that
exact temperatures mattered and we used the cgs system for that.

Fahrenheit has to be the most hare-brained temperature scale ever devised -
It was based on two sensible ideas. Lowest known temperature 0 degrees &
body heat + 100 degrees.
Sadly neither these two parameters was correct
