Insect-scale physics appears to work differently than the physics human bodies are accustomed to. Among other things: - Exoskeletons are better than endoskeletons - Many insects can also walk on water - Relatively large falls are easily sur

So that's why one unit Celcius is roughly 2 units Fahrenheit! For some reason I never noticed there are exactly 180 degrees between freezing and boiling points on the Fahrenheit scale. 100°C is a nice "round" number, and 180°
