:::::::Also there has been a run on thermometers over the last few weeks. I don't know what it's like in the US, but definitely in Europe it's hard to find a thermometer for human use now. Everyone has been buying them, and obviously for many people they have been buying them for the first time ever.[[Special:Contributions/141.101.69.7|141.101.69.7]] 17:56, 13 April 2020 (UTC) | :::::::Also there has been a run on thermometers over the last few weeks.

::The comic doesn't mention a fever. For all we know Cueball is trying to measure the outside air temperature, or how hot his coffee is. We can rule out the idea that he is trying to measure the temperature of some liquid helium only because he skipped past the kelvin scale.

I removed the weasel words, indicating that Fahrenheit is "generally appreciated" because 0 means very cold and 100 very hot. I adjusted it to "some claim" and adjusted the text to fit. | I removed the weasel words, indicating that Fahrenheit is "generally appreciated" because 0 means very cold and 100 very hot.

− | Make the scale in Celsius 0 to 200, and I think you would have a system much more relatable to Fahrenheit users. | + | Make the scale in Celsius 0 to 200, and I think you would have a system much more relatable to Fahrenheit users. |

I can imagine a worse scaling system! Base it on Cat-Scratch-Fever, Hot-Blooded, Yellow Snow, SpringTime in Alaska, Beds are Burning, Burning Down the House .

By a strange coincident, I went for a walk to the real {{w|Ole Rømer|Rømer}}'s {{w|Ole Rømer#The Ole Rømer Museum|Observatorium Tusculanum}} today {{w|da:Observatorium Tusculanum|(full details in the Danish wiki)}}.
