    Cold in Alaska, how cold? This is how cold!!!

    This photo came from Stoney River Lodge in Alaska. It was taken on January 5, 2010 when the temp was a balmy -51




    WELLINGTON, New Zealand — This Scotch has been on the rocks for a century.

    Five crates of Scotch whisky and two of brandy have been recovered by a team restoring an Antarctic hut used more than 100 years ago by famed polar explorer Ernest Shackleton.

    24 proof liquor freezes at -20°F
    64 proof liquor freezes at -10°F
    84 proof liquor freezes at -30°F
    100 proof vodka will freeze at approximately -40.78 °F
    Pure ethanol, the active ingredient in vodka, freezes at −114.3 °C or −237.74°F
    Now that is cold, cold, cold, really really cold.

    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    Usually sufferers of paraphilic infantilism are proud of their condition. Kinda like being a liberal. Your mental flaws are there for the entire world to see, and you're damned proud of it. - tank_monkey
