No, they don't. Go there, and you will see. Damn, there's a big hole in your reality... -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- --

Actually, maintenance of core temperature is important, irrespective of external temperature. However, it is much easier to keep core temperature from dropping than it is to keep it from rising, since the former requires only warm clothing, whereas the latter requires active (and often external and mechanical) cooling. Also, whereas hypothermia is potentially survivable in certain cases, hyperthermia generally is not. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.
