Well from 0 °C on downwards, water starts to freeze... seems logical to me.

People should start to just chill and not take anything serious, at least not in this thread lol.
I'm not upset, it's also not logical. Basing a unit of measurement on the temperatures at which a single element freezes and boils is incredibly arbitrary. It's not any more "logical" than basing 0 at where F or K bases zero, it just feels that way because someone decided for you it was the logical choice, because someone else says it the logical base.

1.) Water is one of many elements in the universe. The only thing C is more "logical" for is measuring the temperature of water.

2.) If we're using temps at which an element freezes and boils, why not Hydrogen? It's the base element from which all elements are created as well as being the most abundant element in the universe.
