A new temperature scale - degrees McLaughlin (13 mar 10)

I have invented a new temperature scale which combines the advantages of Celsius, Kelvin and Fahrenheit. It's called the McLaughlin scale. Just like Kelvin, zero is absolute zero, the minimum possible temperature. The freezing point of water is 460° M and boiling is 640° M at sea level. This brilliant new idea avoids those pesky negative numbers you get with Fahrenheit and Celsius, sets zero to a meaningful physical constant, and has the fine-grained degree size you need for cooking. There are fully 180° between freezing and boiling, just like in the Fahrenheit scale - almost twice as many as with Kelvin or Celsius.
