This is a question Crap Gadgets

We wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.

Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

Go and read a physics book
about specific heat capacity

And about the surface temperature of the moon
(which, according to Wikipedia, averages 220K at the equator)...

But it's over 105 degrees celsius during the 'day' (~13 earth days), which would make for quite hot jam. Pretty cold at 'night' though.

The key word is "averages", here
In sunlight, things on the moon will heat up to 120 c; in shadow they'll down to -230 c or so.

"Hotter than the sun" would have been a better, if rather hyperbolic, phrase here.

While all this is true,
it would have detracted from the snide nature of my comment. And I'm feeling quite snide today...
:)
