don't connect to normal body temp and boiling point.

212: I'm thinking about my age :D
98.6: I'm thinking about half of my IQ

212 is the boiling point of water at sea level (in degrees Fahrenheit).
If you are considerably above sea level (for example, in Denver, Colorado), water will boil at a lower temperature. (This means things will take longer to cook, because the water doesn't get quite as hot.)
98.6 is supposed to be the average human body temperature. (The real average is slightly lower. The number 98.6 was arrived at by converting 37 degrees Celsius (which was actually rounded up slightly from the real value) directly to Fahrenheit.)

212 degrees Fahrenheit = boiling temp of water
98.6 degrees Fahrenheit = Normal human body temperature

-boiling point of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit
-normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit

The first is the boinling point of water and the second is supposed to be the average human temperature.

Temperatures, since 212F is water's boiling point and 98.6F is the normal human body temperature.
