Has anyone done a filk about the Scoville scale, TTo: "Richter Scale"?
It seems an obvious parody, but I can't find anything like it.
"Wilbur Scoville made a scale for quantifying peppers..."

Well, not _like_ it, but Kanef did write one about the Kinsey Scale...

(Years ago, at a rummage sale, I picked up an "operator's manual" for
the Kinsey interview conventions -- official procedure on asking the
non-judgemental open-ended questions, and the official key for how the
answers were cryptically notated, using an obscure system of minimal
keys and locations so as not to spook the subject by seeming to be
scribbling too much detail.)
