I just read the posting from Carl Blesch, "the armchair chemist" explaining why hot water will freeze faster than cold water. I have never seen such an amazing pile of meadow muffins. And the frightening thing is that this guy works at BELL LABS!! I hope he confines his chemistry work to his armchair, because he couldn't be doing BTL much good in the field. Thermodynamics, either. In fact, I wouldn't even trust him as a mechanical engineer. Hacker, maybe. After all, our connection to the world of reality is tenuous at best. The only rational explanation is that Carl's submission was a joke. If so, I apologize. Jim Beckman ABI South Plainfield, NJ
