    Coldest Places on Earth Found

    I know what all of you are thinking, “What lube should I use”?

    SAN FRANCISCO — Where is the coldest temperature ever measured on Earth?

    "It's in Antarctica of course," Ted Scambos, lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo., said here today (Dec. 9) at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union.

    That temperature? A mind- — and body-numbing — minus 136 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 93.2 Celsius), measured in pockets scattered near a high ice ridge between Dome Argus and Dome Fuji, two summits on the East Antarctic Plateau.

    Would make for an epic small arms test.

    One article on this story mentioned that scientists will occasionally run outside for naked selfies, just to prove it can be done survivably.

    More interesting than a cold shower.

    Just avoid adopting any stray huskies that come along. Especally if chased by gun wielding Norweigens in a helicopter.
