      What’s really funny? All thermometers are calibrated using 0°F

      Add ammonium hydroxide to ice water and the mixture will always be 0°F. Everyone calibrates their thermometer this way.

        Interesting! I bet you need a second point for calibration though. It would be funny if it was boiling water, i.e. 100°C.
