Cold to my cells

Standing next to a plaque that says that Robert Boyle did some un-printable things here more than 350 years back. He also came up with the Boyle's law in this very spot, though not necessarily at this time of the year.

For those who choose not to remember: Boyle's law says that when temperature is constant, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

In simpler terms, when there is no heat on you, the pressure on you to perform is inversely proportional to the volume of your own rhetoric.

Apparently, the first living cell was also identified here, following which descended upon humanity, all kinds of nightmares like AIDS and leukemia. Till then, they just assumed comfortably that these guys died young.

Oxford, 8th January, 2010, -4 Celsius.
