Thanks SiN. I'll keep that in mind. But it still blows me away. Because if ~36 is body temp. That means the US conversion would be 98'F.
Now try to follow me here (yeah, let's let the blind guy lead for awhile. no wonder we're lost). On the Fahrenheit scale, water boils at 212'. And the difference in between normal body temp boiling water is 114 points (212-98=114). Now on the Metric scale the difference in between the two is a mere 64 points (100-36=64). This means I need more aspirin.
OK. I'm an average US person. With education level equal to the average US citizen. Keeping that in mind, I think the above formula answer the thread as to why we are not on the metric system. (But I'm sure if we did, it would be a boom for aspirin sales)
