@slutsocks: If you're waiting for rescue you're not supposed to swim. You should just wait and keep yourself warm (or, in other words, keep yourself alive).

This is actually a good tip to keeping yourself warm.

Acupuncture! If you want the real deal cool-down, give it a try. A good acu doc can cool you down on the table, and the effect can last easily up to 2 or more weeks if done right. ;)

@SpudDude: In much the same way that a radiator keeps the whole engine cool (in that it actually doesn't, but it does keep it from overheating). Replace radiator with externally cooled pulse points, and coolant with blood, and there ya go.

@Sandwich: I went to an air show at Moffett Field some time back.

@SpudDude: Next time you get really hot, run your tap water until its cold, and sick your wrists, side by side, in a V pattern, under the water.
