Not me!. Assuming you mean pure water at normal
atmospheric pressure
I'll have 273.15 for freezing and 373.15 for boiling.
Wouldn't you *really* rather have, say, *144* degrees between
freezing and boiling, or maybe between absolute zero and freezing? I
mean, if 10 is an inconvenient base, 10^2 has all the same problems
twice over...

Hm. I'm thinking we should start taking up a collection to purchase a
transatlantic-capable yacht for Will Donzelli ... (more :-) )
