Hi All 

Yes, I'll second that nomination as well.   I wonder how she does it.
Blood won't work at that temperature!
I think she must top up with gin or something.  I can see another problem
with the natural functioning of the body.    My father worked at Flin Flon,
in Manitoba in the twenties and he used to tell me that you could throw a
kettle of boiling water out of the window and it would be ice by the time it
hit the ground.   Wouldn't that make going to the bathroom a little tricky?
