Reflecting cold? That's an interesting concept.
It's like photocopying cold to make it warmer...
Perhaps it comes from the same school of thought that tells us
electric current flows in the opposite direction to the
electrons.
Oh come on, everyone knows its the holes that go that way.
And that light bulbs work by sucking the darkness in.
I think it's time to resurrect the Phlogiston theory.

And miasma/contagion :-)

Actually the idea of hot/cold isn't too silly.

In the morning I open the living-room curtains to let the darkness
out, which is just the reverse logic to letting the light in.

It's all relative/relativity really innit...


Relatively speaking, yes it is.

So how do we deal with those people who annoyingly describe something
as being 'three times smaller' than something else?


harrys, Drivels or dennisses?
