    How about this?

    Why is it that when you are looking for something you always find it in the last place you look?

    Of course, the reason is that you stop looking, since you have found it.

    I think you'll find that dry ice isn't made from a liquid. Its actually made from Compressed CO2 gas. Which is at a very low temp.... So if you do try swim in it you'll end up freezing smile.gif

    for a full answer to this question, get your self the book, dance of the voodoo handbag by robert rankin. it has 3 pages on how the best place to look is the most obvious place. the most obvious place to look is always the last place you find it, so therefore the most obvious place to look is the least most obvious place. now, thats pretty obvious, so therefore that automatically becomes the most obvious place to find the lost object and therefore, it will automatically not be there. the least most obvious place eventually turns out to be the place you should have looked for the object in the first place, but because you were so busy looking in all the least most obvious places and searched the most obvious place first, then thats where it will.

    are you confused yet?

    I thought it was CO2 in it's solid form, its -insert big word here- i.e. it goes from solid to gas etc

    Still he could go for a swim in liquid nitrogen, ahhh refeshing on a hot day biggrin.gif

    isnt CO2 carbon dioxide? im quiet sure thats not good for you! and yeah, i cant remember that name of a substance that goes from solid to gas. hmmm, chemistry was far too long ago and not very interesting anyway frown.gif

    Yes, CO2 = Carbon Dioxide.
    It is what your lungs expell and it's generally not a good thing for you.

    Dry Ice is Frozen CO2 that has been treated with some stuff so that it stays in a liquid form in it's containers and once it hits the air, it evaporates into it's "smoke-like" state (as seen on stage and in night clubs). Sometimes you can have smell added to it - that's nice - Strawberry Smoke!

    Solid CO2 is at an extremely low temperature - no idea what though curlydav.gif

    Sublimation you say, aye it rings bells unrung since junior cert...

    CO2 is carbon dioxide, I'm not sure about the confusion (or is there any?). It's cold, very cold, couldn't tell you an exact temp though.

    Lets Put an end to the "science"


    At normal atmospheric pressure on this planet, frozen CO2 doesn't melt into a liquid, but rather evaporates directly into its gaseous form. Hence the name dry ice. This process is called sublimation.

    Happy???

    Why is "dyslexic" such an awkward word to spell?

    Why is the word Monosyllabic so long?

    What ******* put an "S" in the word Lisp?

    If a man talks in the forest and there's no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    How do they get the figs into the fig rolls.

    Stupid enough?
