I'm pretty sure that wasn't actually Fahrenheit's intention, more a happy accident. Also if your body temp is 100°F then you're running a mild/moderate fever.

The scale was adjusted later to make freezing and boiling points land on exact numbers with an easily-divisible 180-dregrees between them (180 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 20, 36, 45, 60, and 90).

I don't usually run, but when I do, I run a mild/moderate fever.
