eeek, aurelia! I hope you had a book (or books) along to pass the time with!
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Calgary put their back up goalie in, who slashed a Detroit player and AFTER the play took his stick double handed and hit the guy again!!!
Ahh, takes me back to the days of watching Ron Hextall play for Philadelphia. I didn't think they made goalies like that anymore.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just got my third useful thing of the day done.
That's enough, right?

Third useful thing? I think you're golden until Tuesday.

well, they were very small things.

The status is NOT quo.
Lee, I'll do your productive things if you do mine. It will be like Wife Swap, only with chores.

Hmmm. Why do I get the feeling I'll be vacuuming up cat hair, regardless?

Nope, it's all about grading poetry explications, bay-bee!

You do realize that's not necessarily better, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Video of supercooled water: [link]
Freaky. I've heard of it but have never seen it. It's water that's been cooled to 21 degrees Celsius (-6F).
Wiki on supercooled water: [link]
A liquid below its freezing point will crystallize in the presence of a seed crystal or nucleus around which a crystal structure can form. However, lacking any such nucleus, the liquid phase can be maintained all the way down to the temperature at which crystal homogeneous nucleation occurs. The homogeneous nucleation can occur above the glass transition where the system is an amorphous—that is, non-crystalline—solid.
Water has a freezing point of 273.15 K (0 °C or 32 °F) but can be supercooled at ambient pressure down to its crystal homogeneous nucleation at almost 231 K (−42 °C).1If cooled at a rate of the order of 1 million kelvins per second, the crystal nucleation can be avoided and water becomes a glass. Its glass transition temperature is much colder and harder to determine, but studies estimate it at about 165 K (−108 °C).2 Glassy water can be heated up to approximately 150 K (−123 °C).3 In the range of temperatures between 231 K (−42 °C) and 150 K (−123 °C) experiments find only crystal ice.
Now I think I must see water glass....
