[RC] to hose or not to hose - susan tweedale-hill \(golshani\)
The advocate of wetting a horse must have not
gone to class the day that we were taught that hot water freezes faster than
cold water. The poster must also have missed the part of the National Geographic
diving specials when the artic wet suit divers could only stay underneath the
ice for X amount of time before they, too, succumbed to loss of body
heat.
I suggest that the poster etc test the wet
insulation theory by tying themselves to a tree in 25 degree weather, stripping
down to their skivvies, and turning on the hose. An observer could take notes
over night.
I have an alternate theory that the poster might
like to try. Humans can keep cooler in mid summer by dipping themselves in tar
and rolling in feathers.
