SamYeager once invented a new scale for measuring temperatures. It was called the Fliminger!dink scale, and the conversion from Kelvins to Fliminger!dink was accomplished using a formula that required logarithms, several hypergeometric functions, and a chicken smothered in soy sauce. When reporting a temperature (like say, 45^F!), the scientist would have to drop their pants--unless it was a Monday, in which case, they could keep their pants on but had to sing the theme song to Gilligan's Island.
The International Community of Really Smart Scientists ultimately rejected SamYeager's proposal, although it took a remarkable two weeks of debate.
