When I was in school we did some experiments with dancing beads of water on a very
hot sheet of metal. The droplets get into a strange equilibrium: initially the
water hits the metal and some of it vapourizes forming a cushion of water vapour
which then a) acts to thermally insulate the rest of the bead and b) provides a
hovercraft effect which kept the bead skittering all over the place. This effect
was called the Leidenfrost Effect and might well be what you are remembering.

Whilst I'm on the subject (probably this is not the place for it but here goes
anyway) has anybody else noticed the way droplets of coffee often run around on
top of the main volume of coffee in a filter machine? I wondered whether this
was a related effect. The droplets must be in some equilibrium because they can
exist for up to a couple of seconds before disintegrating.

It is the difference between temperature and heat content.  As long as
you keep walking there is not enough heat content to burn your feet and
usually you are across the bed of coals in 4 or 5 seconds so there is not
enough time for the low heat content of the coals to raise the temperature
of your foot. 


Anothere example of the difference between heat content and temperature is
the in the ozone layer - the temperatures there are around 1500 dgs C but
you would freeze because the atmosphere is so thin.

Yep, it's quite possible.  It's possible to be allergic to ANYTHING.  I
have a friend who can't take the pill because of some goofy medical
condition (whose name I couldn't remember if my life depended on it).
BUT, she's also allergic to latex AND spermicide...

The only thing she's got going for her is that her periods are
absolutely regular, which is absolutely necessary for the rythm method
to work at all.

I think that a useful definition of "unnaturally" skeptical would be to 
compare how skeptical one is in one's everday life with a professed skepticism
about the existance of god.  What you will find is that if agnostics were
as skeptical about their entire lives as they are about the question of the
existance of god, they could not live.  Every single event in their lives would
be so uncertain as to make life unlivable.

By the way, I am not an oxymoron:-)

There's some old movie with a snuff plot. I think it was "teen girl runs
from home, ends up in porno business. Girl's father looks for his daughter
all over the place, including a snuff porn movie theatre." Don't remember
if there was a happy ending. (Guess I turned off the TV.)

I believe I've heard some UL about Japanese male tourists in Thailand who
want to buy sex with young girls while the girls are choked.

Guess these "sex and death" ULs will change as people are more aware of AIDS.

Hold it!

BBS usage is *not* "peak hour". It can't be unless most of the calls
are coming from:

1. night shift folks
2. people *at* work
3. people who *don't* work.

Usage graphs from any BBS that isn't "saturated" will show this. 

The "peak usage" time for a BBS is the early evening. During the school
year there's also a peak in the 3-4 pm range as kids get home from school.

Also note that the BBS is *receiving* those calls, not *making* them.
Traditionally the person *originating the call pays.

Finally, anywhere that they can get away with it, the phone companies
are trying to push "local measured service" even though it bears *no*
resemblance to the way the costs are actually incurred.
