    It’s a perfectly logical system of measurement: zero is the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride; and 100 degrees is the body temperature of a horse.

      My biggest gripe with celsius is that the numbers are too small when talking about weather . So I’m making a new temperature unit I’m calling Jelsius. It’s just celsius times 3. Water still freezes at zero but now it boils at 300.

      If you need me I’ll be by my mailbox waiting for the nobel to come in.
