| save me Jeebus (03/11/2007)
Water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. There are 180 degrees between freezing and boiling because there are 180 degrees between north and south.
From Manchester with love |

Impressive eh? I'm not 100% sure it's true though. I'm waiting for Labmonkey or Benny to come and tell me I'm wrong.
Yes, all right.. Christ Almighty! It's like walking down a corridor and answering the door in Nazi Germany! |

| | Fahrenheit wanted to avoid the negative temperatures that the Rømer scale had produced in everyday use. He fixed his own body temperature as 96 °F. (As noted below, the scale has since been re-calibrated so that normal body temperature is closer to 98.6 °F). He then divided his scale into twelve sections, and subsequently each of these into 8 equal subdivisions, producing a scale of 96 degrees. Fahrenheit noted that his scale placed the freezing point of water at 32 °F and the boiling point at 212 °F, a neat 180 degrees apart. Thus spake Wikipedia

Never heard of that before, but reading the Wiki article it sounds like a coincidence to me, which (a) he didn't even notice until after he invented the scale and (b) has no real relevance to north and south except that perhaps it'd make it easier for people to remember.

| It is a lot warmer down south than up north. Not 180 degrees warmer mind.
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking when I hear the silly things that you say |

| Approximately 70% of the surface of the earth is covered by water, yet only around 1% is drinkable.
