fresh coffee: 72.4C
water left on my desk: 21.9C
inside cd rom drive: 31.8C
inside 3.5" floppy drive: 31.1C

Up your bum?

Previous testing has shown
inside underpants: 35.3
under arse: 30.7C
inner ear: 35.5C

I'm guessing up my arse would be slightly higher than inner ear. I've yet to find a willing volunteer to carefully insert probe so I cannot be sure.

That implies a cooling effect from the buttocks
How odd. I think science should investigate this.

I have no cats available
but should one arrive I will test it immediately.

hmmm,
how about outside vs the inside your bin then?
Any heat due to the decomposition of stuff?

the office bins have just been emptied
and any decomposing sandwich remains removed. However testing was carried out regardless.

outside bin: 24.5
inside bin: 24.3

well,
Next time I need to cool down .2 degrees I shall hop in a bin.

This may just save my life one day. Thankyou.
