Story I heard is that Fahrenheit stuck his new thermometer in a bucket
of salted ice, and called that 0, and then stuck it in his mouth and
called it 100. He must've had a fever that day...

Just in case you are serious...
Celsius and Farenheit degrees are both named after 17th/18th century
scientists who invented those measurements. Celsius was from Sweden, and
Farenheit German.
