What is stupid is 32 degrees freezing and 212 degrees boiling. Plus, centigrade temperatures can be broken down into tenths of a degree.

What is stupid is using Celsius for everyday weather and indoor temperatures. Celsius might be fine for the laboratory, but it makes no sense in the real world. In Canada, vehicles with auto temperature HVAC increment their settings in half degree intervals. In the US, one degree increments work perfectly. And we all know that when it hits triple digits, it's going to be a scorcher. The rest of the world can keep their stupid metric system. It's only positive point is that it's a base ten system. Other than that, it makes no sense at all.

The intuitive advantage for common people for the Fahrenheit scale, is that 0 to 100 degrees expresses the range that most people would experience (at least in the UK)
