I really don't understand the appeal of the Celsius scale. Zero degrees Celsius is like "put on a light sweater". That's not what zero should mean! Zero degrees Fahrenheit, on the other hand, means your nose freezes shut instantly upon exposure. Now *that* is worthy of the number zero.
(Zero Kelvin is a hardcore zero, but it is just too rare in everyday life to be interesting.)
