wat, yes they are very human friendly. 0C for freezing water and 100C for boiling water makes a lot more sense than 32F and 212F or 273.15°K and 373.15°K. A

Also one meter is about the length of one very large step, or two smaller steps, and one gr the weight of about a teaspoon of water, or 1kg a large loaf of bread.
They are human scale.
