A gag I read 30 years ago in a kids' science book - I've tried it - it's now non-PC, but it works. Take a small piece of ice from the freezer. Find a stooge. Light a cigarette. Tell stooge he/she is perfectly safe. Turn stooge away from you. Very briefly apply ice to back of stooge's neck

I am sure that those perceptions play a large role in the reports about "hot" meteorites. The finder of the Cali #004 meteorite said that he picked it up, and then rapidly put it down because it was so cold that it hurt him. As far as the Portales plastic melter, we had discussed that at length d
