I think he did! According to Everything2.com, Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer and introduced it in Holland in 1714. 98.6 F is avg healthy human temperature, 100 F is the healthy temperature of a cow's anus, 212 F is the boiling point of water, 451 F is when paper burns, and 911 F is waaaay hotter than paper. We all base our artistic and scientific endeavors on the accomplishments of others that came before us. | |||
