Yes, well Fahrenheit is more a measure of comfort rather than of temperature. Dr. Fahrenheit used 32 degrees as the MELTING point of ice and 96 degrees as at body temperature as his scale anchors. Dr. F. took body temperature measures and averaged down to arrive at 96.

In Centigrade, a more scientific scale, is based on water rather than comfort where 0 is the FREEZING point of water, and 100 is the boiling point of water.

1 Cal is the amount of energy that it takes to raise 1 ml of water 1 degree.

So ROAR
