How many stones is that?

SNL remembered how to be funny?

Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer and began his system patterned after the familiar nautical and astronomical 360° With minutes and seconds. (that’s how degrees became part of temperature)
With influence presumably from masons, he changed it to have prominent temperatures divisible by 33°. He lived on the northern coast of Europe where he took the average winter time temperature as zero, and the average summer temperature as 100 for a starting point. (50° remains near earths average still to this day)
Zero was adjusted to the temperature where salty sea water begin freezing to decks of ships. (The most dangerous occurrence for that area of Europe) freezing freshwater at 33°, human body temperature at 99°, boiling water at 231° etc…. but then the metric system was devised with more precise measurements and Fahrenheit attempted similar alterations. Intentions and reality did not coincide and it ended up the way it is today.

They laugh about 5280 feet to a mile. A number everyone has to memorize. But a mile is a good unit of measure in that it is the distance that a young man can travel at a trot to completion. Temperatures of 0 to 100 is the range that people in a temperate climate will experience throughout the year. 0 is shivering cold. 100 is sweating hot. Weights from 0 to 100 is the range that people can intuitively understand. 100 being the max that a man can lift overhead. And then 100 to 200 pounds is the healthy weight range of men and women. Women down to 100 and men up to 200.. And yeah, 5280 looks pretty arbitrary. But then, the conversion of 0 – 100 Fahrenheit is -18 to 38 Celsius. Not a people friendly way to measure temperature.

Only a year or two old! I thought this harked back to ancient times when it most always funny (1980’s). How’d they get this past Network management?

This skit is, surpringly, only a year or two old. Nate Bargadze (Washington) is a fantastic stand-up comedian, and I highly recommend his Netflix specials.
