Actual poster from 1917 that made me laugh. A lot.
Also, those motherfuckers are measuring the weight of those balls in kilograms, aren't they?

Well, yeah. Anything less than 0 is freezing and anything greater than 0 isn't.

Fahrenheit makes more sense for human experience... 0 to 100 roughly corresponds to what can be survived for a significant amount of time. Below freezing you can survive without shelter as long as you're dressed for it, but as you approach zero it gets a lot harder, you really need shelter and heat at that point. Same with above 100... 117 won't kill you right away, but without some sort of man-made cooling device, you'll be wishing it would. I say this having lived both extremes, mountains of Colorado in winter, and Phoenix in summer... Honestly, given the choice between 115 and -15, I'd rather have the cold.
Exactly! Weather happens at temperatures lower than water's freezing point, and much lower than it's boiling point, so using those two reference points to measure weather temps against isn't very convenient.
