Oh well.

I just figgered that theyd be cooled somewhat, because LN makes everything
around it really cold.

Don't think it does, but I could be wrong.

That sounds better than my idea. I like it!

Well I don't have a real source of LN, so unless I find one I won't be doing
much research. The times I've played with it were at CMU in an advanced
science course, where the proffessor let us finish off a dewar after our
experiment was over.
