Out in the cold

I had a lecture on anxiolytic sedatives today, and one of the slides had this on it (although I'm still trying to make the link as to why it's there)...

Humans apparently have five physical needs:

•A full, but comfortable, stomach
•Regular bowel movements
•Freely moving, painless limbs and joints
•Sexual gratification
•A good night's sleep

If there's one more thing I can add to the list, it'd be "A warm, body-temperature friendly environment".

This past week has been arctic. As in really freezing. It really puts me off going out, and when I do, I couldn't wait to be back in my room, giving my body a break from shivering. At times like this, I really feel for the homeless. Perched on five-footway begging for money in numbing temperatures...

I guess if you can survive that, you can survive almost anything!
