| Another View: How cold is it?
You sit in a 200-degree sauna for as long as you can stand it. Then you and your closest friends leave the super-heated box and dash to the geographic South Pole, run all the way around it, and then back to the sauna. On a day that it is 100 degrees below zero. By running all the way around the pole, you set foot in all 24 time zones — thus earning you the right to say you spent an entire day naked outside at 100 below. You also get a cool patch to sew on your coat, if you survive. If you're interested in gory details, try the Google route. Suffice to say that the sweat covering your body in the sauna flash-freezes. On all your parts. And you don't want to wear underwear because when it freezes, it gets sharp and can leave nasty cuts. On all your parts. But don't stop your extreme cold surfing there.
