Trivia 11/1/16

[jason]

Through what part of your body could you lose 60% of your body heat?

 

[Roybrew]

Your head.

 

[MacGyver]

Don't know the answer, but I do know the head thing has been proven to be a myth.

[Roybrew]

Wow, seriously? Oh well I guess I was wrong on that. I usually comb my back hair over my head to keep me warm. Ha

 

[MacGyver]

I always believed it myself and was just as surprised. But I still say a hat in the cold makes a big difference, even if it is all in my imagination.

 

[Grandpa]

I can only guess but i have also heard the head and feet thing are myths. ISot may be myths but i still put on fresh wool socks and a stocking cap when I go to the bag in cold weather. So my guess is the main Trunk.

 

[Cappy]

I plead the fifth and will sit and sip on it while yall hash it out. I am seldom ever cold so cant weigh in

 

[dinosaur]

I don't know if it's true but I figure that if you lose 60% of your body heat, you're dead. So I have the good sense to wear thick socks, insulated boots, thermal underwear, layered clothing, gloves and a warm hat.

 

[jason]

MacGyver is debunking the cards. The cards do say the head. Next time I'll have to ask something like do penguins have knees.

 

[dinosaur]

Well, maybe the percentage is off but you can lose a significant amount of heat and moisture if your head is not covered. At any rate it is an ill-advised move to be in a hostile environment without head cover.
