What an amazing fellow, I'd hate to have his electricity bill
.
I am puzzled by the picture of him putting his hand into liquid Nitrogen. He describes it as a dangerous stunt and everything I was taught in school suggest that his fingers should have snap frozen and all break off and yet his fingers are all there.
Cheers

I have plunged my arm up to my elbow in liquid nitrogen! All is fine while there is a nice insulating layer of N2 gas around your hot skin. This lasts a few seconds then you start to freeze if you dont remove your arm.

I had a bit of a chuckle over Iceman's Avatar. First, flashes a picture of Saturn then, flashes a picture of Jupiter. I was sure that next he was going to flash a picture of Uranus...

Suddenly, having a room full of telescopes seems quite sane.
