"Oops! I guess I was using junk science to arrive at my conclusion. Considering that the human body is made up of mostly water and considering how certain bodily appendages, (which shall remain nameless since this is a family friendly site) swiftly shrink in direct proportion to the drop in temperature, it just seemed logical that water shrank as it froze."

Most materials do shrink. But water has a phenomenum called hydrogen bonding that prevents this... on the other hand if it were not for hydrogen bonding there probably would be any liquid water on the earth so overall its a good thing.
