Cold water in cold weather

They almost all serve it, Nish, and I highly recommend it. A nice mug of hot cocoa relaxes the nerves and helps to ensure a good night's sleep. It has no nasty side effects that I know of, other than the risk of growing fat (I doubt that you're in danger of that). I read somewhere that it contains caffeine, but my personal experience belies that claim. It knocks me out better than any remedy save one, and I'll save that one for another time. It gives young, handsome men too much of an advantage over young women, and I wouldn't want to corrupt you.

Guys My friend said that drinking cold water (or liquids like Coke, Pepsi etc...) only makes me feel colder. Is this true? If so, what's the scientific explanation? In fact ever since he told me that, I shiver a little more after having a chilled Coke :-( Nish

Scientifically, as you know, your surroundings feeling hot or cold is explained by your surroundings being hotter, or colder than your body temp. When drinking cold drinks, you may be lowernig the temp of ur body, so that it is closer to that of the surroundings, but, your body does its absolute best to keep your body at 37ºC, so the cold drink is trying to lower your body temp, and that is what makes you feel cold. -- A Paper By: Professor Nnamdi Onyeyiri If you were able to follow that - wow - i was getting lost at the end. BTW, this is a load of dribble, based on the first paragraph, which is the only bit i know to be true. The rest, is a part of my *logical* thought process.

Do this simple little test to show how the body reacts to temperature. Get three glasses. Line them up. But ice cold water in one on the edge, room temperature water in the one in the middle and hot water [don't burn yourself] in the one on the right. Put one finger from each hand into the other glasses [i.e. the cold water and the hot water] and leave there for about 30 seconds... then put both finger in the middle glass??? Notice anything... You "read" the temperature as being cold with the finger that was in the cold water and hot with the finger that was in the hot water but they will equalise after about 15 to twenty seconds. There was some weird biological explanation for this when I was in school but I haven't done biology in about 9 years so bugger me if I know the answer. Basically we react to temperatures by reading them dependant on the ambient temperature around the part of our body that the temperature is being applied to... or so I've been led to believe. I could be completely wrong here so if I am could somebody please let me know.

I was trying to figure out why a mac could see at least one of the other macs, but not the OS-X server nor the router and the PCs couldn't see that mac. Since I couldn't run 'ping' I had no idea what all was visible and what wasn't. I still have no idea why, but upgrading to a newer OS did the job (from 7.6.1 to 9). I like it when last-ditch efforts actually work ;) James "The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers the newfangled way.
