Which explains why they didn't just say 100 or 105 in their literature...

Another fun one: -40 deg F, -40 deg C.
0 deg F is supposed to be the freezing point of North Atlantic Ocean
water (the salt causes freezing point depression by about 32 deg F).
And let's not forget: 98.6 deg F, 37.0 deg C... You ever wonder why
they always say 98.6, and not 98.7 or 98.5? Because they converted it
from Celsius (or centigrade, if you prefer)!
