Is it Cold Enough for Ya?

It is cold down here in Pensacola…balls cold. So I was thinking about it the other day when I came home from work, walked past my neighbor and into my house. Cold can be an interesting thing, for example:

• You can get hypothermia at only 95°

• The common fish can have a body temp. between 74° and 82°

• It is best to drink wine at 80°

• Yet, wine ferments between 69° and 65°

• Most refrigerators are set to 60°

• Illinois mean temperature is only 50°

• Average difference between indoor/outdoor temps. is 45°

• The water in beer will freeze at 32° but the alcohol will not

• Inversely, my redneck neighbor will sit outside in his folding chair, smoking a cigarette, without a shirt on, in his cutoff jean-shorts at any of these temperatures…though his beer may in fact be frozen.
