I really don't understand the appeal of the Celsius scale. Zero 
degrees Celsius is like "put on a light sweater". That's not what 
zero should mean! Zero degrees Fahrenheit, on the other hand, 
means your nose freezes shut instantly upon exposure. Now *that* 
is worthy of the number zero.

(Zero Kelvin is a hardcore zero, but it is just too rare in 
everyday life to be interesting.)
