Stop watching TV then. I have. This forum is a better form of entertainment.

I guess being a teacher I need to keep up on what is out there. I want everyone to understand the misconsceptions out there and be on the same playing field. I guess that is why I am a teacher! (Make it three, no that was twice this time...four)

I also have given up TV (mostly) to spend the time on my MB and the forum.

I always viewed "windchill" like blowing on hot soup. If you blow air over it, it cools faster.

that is also due to evaporative cooling a liquid. removal of the evaporate aids additional evaporate causing more rapid cooling.
