"It's so cold, it's hot!"

That is the absolute dumbest quote I have ever heard.

So I was reading this godawful book called "To Kill a Mockingbird," and the little girl sticks out her tongue, eats the snow and says, "Ouch! That's hot!" Her older brother says, "It's not hot. It's just so cold, it's hot." :|

I'm sure the people that froze to death must have felt really hot. :roll: I've been freezing like hell before, too, and I have never been "hot." It's honestly the dumbest thing I have ever heard. It makes no freaking sense, and it's not true. How could it be? I've felt it, and I never felt hot.

Name some stupid things you have heard that are not true.

I think the sensation of extreme cold is similar to that of extreme heat.Kritical_Strike

I think you use logic sir.

Err, it's actually true... Sensory receptors can become overwhelmed for an instant and cause you to perceive extreme heat as extreme cold, or the reverse. The same type of (thermo)receptor covers both.Dark__Link

What? I've never felt that before. That's just weird. Your body is just fooling you.DeathScape666

Yep, that's basically it. As someone pointed out before you sense heat the same way you do cold so sometimes the extremes can be confused by your body. So if it's cold enough it might feel hot for a moment.

dry ice anyone?pageiszepplin

Exactly what I was going to say (except I was going to say it much cooler 8))
