When watching NOVA: Absolute Zero I found the story of Gabriel Fahrenheit particularly interesting. He is noted for making thermometers with mercury and marking them with particularly useful temperatures such as the cool mixture of ice, water, and ammonium chloride0 °F , the freezing of water 32 °F and the average temperature of the human body 96°F thus making the Fahrenheit scale. Another feature of Fahrenheit's thermometers is that they were a much more practical size and much more accurate all this was because he used mercury rather than alcohol.
