Oh dear How many people measure their bath temperature this accurately?

[Simon Mason]

Same as eating a Phal - it makes you feel alive.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

No, those are just foul.

And being hot just makes me sleepy, being cold makes me feel alive.

I fail to see the point in eating food that's spicy. I prefer flavour.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

You could turn it on it's back, fill it with oil, then sit in it. Let us know the results.

[Zephirum]

You can on any planet that has a higher atmospheric pressure than earth. Think pressure cooker.

[The Natural Philosopher]

I don't actually believe you wrote that.

What about "at normal atmospheric pressure" did you not understand?

[Huge]

Or indeed, camping out next to the Dead Sea.

[Zephirum]

Yes indeed but last time I looked the Dead Sea was on this planet, but good point. I was thinking more of Venus where the pressure at the surface is 92 times that of Earth but given that the temp at surface is

470 C getting the kettle there unmelted might be an issue.

[Bob Eager]

The implication is that it's 'normal atmospheric pressure' *for that planet*?

[tabbypurr]

Salt is certainly an obvious way to boil water at over 100C. Superheating is another.

[Bod]

Nice wriggle.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

It's the way I read the sentence, I was applying OUR atmosphere to another planet. Illogical really.

[James Wilkinson Sword]

The coffee would be revolting.

[Vir Campestris]

A sauna may be a place to get clean, but it isn't a bath.
