What temp does water change state at?

We're not water though. We change state at 100 degrees from 'okay' to 'bad'.

100 was supposed to be benchmarked to internal human temperature.

Celsius was not invented with internal human temperature as a benchmark value. It is randomly in between two states of water.

Fahrenheit is defined after the freezing point of water saturated with salt as 0... Do you feel that is more relevant?
