Breast Teaser I Mean Brain Teaser

Calling all scientists or alchemists. At what temperature does a saline breast implant freeze? Here are the parameters. Outside the body- it is housed in a silicone case, size is 320cc.

. . . and is one pair leaving NY and traveling at 60MPH while the other pair is leaving Denver and traveling East at 55MPH?

I would think it would depend on the concentration of saline. Are you considering getting into the breast implant transportation business?

Pure H2O freezes at 0°C, but that point can be lowered by dissolving salt in the water. If the solution is further cooled to below the new freezing point, ice will start to form. As a result, the remaining saline solution becomes further concentrated, until the saturation point is reached. The actual temp required to freeze the water in the mixture before the salt settles out is dependent on the mixture ratio of the saline solution, eg: a 5% solution of NaCl melts at -3 C, a 10% solution melts at about -6.5 C.


The moral is: Dont go ice fishing with a Playboy playmate.

Well, whatever the case may be, it'd have to be colder that a witches tit!

I grow beef cows so what I know about dairy operations would make a doggone short read. However, do know that all the milking parlours I've ever seen are indoors and, a lot of northern dairies can't or don't turn the milk cows out in the winter. Also, I'm pretty sure the milkers 'gizmos' (actually called the teacups) aren't heated because it seems like that could present a sanitation problem.

Also, those dairy teats and udders get a lot of TLC because you don't want them getting irritated or the udder developing mastitis...particularly in a dairy cow that may produce many pounds of milk each day. Any interruption in milking from injury would reduce output. Also, ointments and balms are available to protect the teats from chafing and windburn.

In north American beef cattle you work towards spring calving for a lot of reasons. First: it's no fun to pull a calf in early February anywhere except maybe Aruba or Jamaica. Second, and most important, those new calves are not having to nurse and grow while it's below freezing...I'm sure teat health fits nicely into that plan as well but teats on beef cattle are not something I worry a lot about unless I see a cow rejecting a calf. Since cows have been successfully nursing their calves in out the weather for more than a couple of years now, I figure they know a lot more than I ever will.

More than you wanted to know but, you asked.

Do you have implants you're concerned about freezing? If so, and you were planning to swim in sub-freezing water, I think I'd be more concerned with my core temp and hypothermia.

Talking about breast, my wife wants implants, but I figure it'd be a big waste of money since she's married to a booty man.

Maybe I should talk her into getting a butt implant. I hear they do this kind of thing in Brazil....
