I think I've heard this before, but it makes no sense to me. Either way it cools; why would the rate of cooling matter?
It warms up everything else in the fridge.
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

Trust my rage
Oh, well that seems sort of obvious. It's funny because I've asked him before why he does that and he has never really had an answer.

I've been thinking about getting a netbook. For conferences and job interviews and stuff, there are going to be a bunch of times that I'll need to carry a computer around all day, and I figure it would be easier with a lighter laptop.
I love mine. I would go for the longest battery life you can get, cause it would be even greater if I did not feel compelled to drag the charger around rather than leaving it somewhere, since the charger weights more than my netbook and battery combined.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Stephanie, it's a misconception. Hot food won't heat up the fridge. Leaving hot food out to cool will only encourage the growth of bacteria and cause illness. Put it in the fridge right away.

Hivemind question: Joe is convinced that tonight's dinner (really yummy chicken posole) must cool before it goes in the fridge. I think I've heard this before, but it makes no sense to me. Either way it cools; why would the rate of cooling matter?
My mother and I argue about this, so I googled it and everything I found supported MY theory, which is that to control bacterial growth, it needs to be cooled as quickly as possible. My mom remains unconvinced and insists I will destroy everything in the fridge if I put hot food in there.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Huh. My guess would have been not to put it in the fridge while it's hot because it will cause condensation in the container.

to melt Sara's heart - mac and I singing If I had a Hammer full volume over dinner. He learned it in music last week. His teacher is a bit of a old folk music fan, bless him.

Oh, that's awesome. They really should always expose kids to all varieties of folk music. By its very nature, easily singable and catchy.
