Explorer as Heat Lamp
This morning, like most, I made two to-go mugs of coffee. Brought one into the office with me, left the other in the car. I just got it out....it's about as hot as when I made the coffee this morning!
Same goes for food. I make some microwave Boca food item in the morning, leave it in it's wrapper in the car, and when I get it in the afternoon......hot and (nearly) fresh!
Brilliant!

An amusing passage from A.O. Scott's review of The Love Guru:
And this is, come to think of it, something of an achievement. What is the opposite of a belly laugh? An interesting question, in a way, and to hear lines like “I think I just made a happy wee-wee” or “I’m making diarrhea noises in my cup” or to watch apprentice gurus attack one another with urine-soaked mops is to grasp the answer. Please don’t misunderstand: I’m not opposed to infantile, regressive, scatological humor. Indeed, I consider myself something of a connoisseur. Or maybe a glutton. So it’s not that I object to the idea of, say, witnessing elephants copulate on the ice in the middle of a Stanley Cup hockey match, or seeing a dwarf sent flying over the same ice by the shock of defibrillator paddles. But it will never be enough simply to do such things. They must be done well.
