. . . Help?
Elizzybeth:
Oh, man, I know what you can do. I was watching Planet Earth, and David Attenborough explained how kangaroos in the Australian desert keep cool. Their techniques are very effective! Maybe they'll work for you, too.
They lick their arms and dig beneath the first layer of dirt and lay in little holes they've dug in the shade. But be careful, because that can deplete your fluid supplies! Make frequent trips to the watering hole (or, if you're particularly desperate, you can eat cactus flowers).
ViolentDove:
Shit. Anyone know how to pitch stories to a newspaper? 'Cause I really need to know by tomorrow.

Actually, every time I go to the toilet in weather like this, after I've washed my hands I rub my hands dry on my arms and legs and face. Evaporative cooling is your friend!
I haven't got desperate enough to try the Flamingo "piss down your own leg" trick yet. But it's going to be 43 degrees again tomorrow so, hey, early days.
ViolentDove:
Oh yeah, go to Kmart and buy an inflatable kiddy pool. Set it up in the backyard, and do your work sitting in the pool all day (you work at home, right?).
