>>Oh, Contraire!
>>When I taught physics I regularly demonstrated COLD BOILING WATER!
>>First I would put some water into a flask, stopper it, then pump out the air. Putting some dry ice against the side of the flask condensed water vapor in the flask, further reducing the internal pressure until it dropped below the vapor pressure of water at room temperature, causing the water inside to boil. You can use water-ice to cause boiling by first bringing the flask to a boil, causing steam to displace all the air. Then stopper it and put an ice cube against the side. The water insde will boil even when it is at body temp (37C) or slightly lower.

I think the ultimate warning would be "WARNING - this package contains a lengthy warning with lots of small print; before you make any claims, your knowledge of its contents will be examined and the claims will be void if your expertise is C or worse."

On the flip side, I've heard the "sue the manufacturer" virus is hitting Europe as well. An alcoholic in France sued the producers of absinth (sp?) for not having a warning on the bottle. I'm coming to think that some of these guys should have some warning inside their brains, like "Warning, this is a brain. Dangerous when not used".
