Too cold for me. I'll stick to a course of leeches.

Yes, but what's the windchill factor?

Do you think Nancy and Hillary can stand the elevated temperatures in the chamber. It might thaw their hearts out.

I do not know why they keep trying this.

al-Pelosi tried it and look what happened to her.

"I’m wearing is a pair of skimpy shorts, knee-high socks, gloves, and a sweatband....obviously we don’t want your fingers, toes, or,anything else dropping off, so it’s best to keep those bits warm."

How about a fur-lined jock strap for the "or anything else" part.

Many are thawed, but few are frozen!

It's minus 120 degrees and all I'm wearing is a hat and socks.

Hopefully you have a third sock on.

Somehow, getting freeze dried (or dried frozen) doesn't seem very healthy at all.

Similar to the effects of jumping into a cold lake. Although the temperature is not as low, the heat transfer is MUCH higher, leading to the same overall effect.

Personally, this sounds pretty silly. There are more convenient ways to promote vasodilation (Viagra?)

Talking to Hillary for 2 seconds gives the same effect.

I'd have to have someone else in there to keep me warm.

Hey, maybe that could be a fad. Folks could join the "-120C Club."
