I don't see anything idiotic about Fahrenheit. With distances I can see why powers of ten make a difference, but we don't vary temperatures by orders of magnitude in regular life.

Nor do I spend much time around freezing or boiling water. Fahrenheit has 9/5th more specificity.

Is the point that it's different than the rest of the world? I can see that point, but am I missing anything particularly bad about the Fahrenheit scale?
