I thought the water temp down there was just below freezing, like 34 degrees F.

I sure never made it to physics. Math threw me for a loop, and still does. I have no affinity for it whatsoever. It makes me nuts. :crazy:

Next time you see a thread where the world's brightest decry their miserable state in the world of employment think about posts like this ( from a different thread but this is as good a place as any to put it).

It's one of those semi-useful facts they teach you in culinary school.  Works pretty well in a beer cooler, too.  I think it's a cup of salt to a gallon of water.  Add lots of ice.

179. Fair enough, however, boring is a very subjective term.
 Cannabis is endlessly fascinating to me. After I got done with serious touring, I spent 15 years in Southern Humboldt County, in the heart of the "Emerald Triangle", doing amazing Cannabis cross breeding and running from ****ing helicopters. Definitely not boring.

I see...

"Cannabis" stopped being fascinating when I noticed that after smoking it all day, all it gave me was a headache.

Hey DUmbass! Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That would be 0 degrees Celsius, which is the same number as your IQ.  :loser:

I should have known that salt water freezes at a lower temperature....

It's how home-made ice cream is done.  Put the ingredients in the churn, fill the tub full of ice and rock salt, and crank until done (or plug it in, for the lazy among us)....
