Did they find a second joke?

(I think) When the ball hits the ground, the ball is "down". If you have four "downs" before making it ten yards, the possession of the ball changes.

Well, it’s too bad you already bought a new pair to replace them. Right? *wink* *wink*

Also try some chopped drained kimchi in a grilled cheese sandwich. (Or would that be a melt?)

I read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress recently, and (spoilers ahead) I'm reminded of the people that deliberately went to the announced site of the meteorite impacts to have a party.

OK. Then it seems your answer are:
* Yes, a little.
* No, we add salt to lower the freezing temperature of water.

I was just trying to answer the question, "Is this why we use salt and ice to make ice cream?"

If you're looking for an endothermic process here, it's melting. Ice turning from solid to liquid absorbs heat. Adding salt to 0C ice makes it possible for a portion of the ice to turn liquid, which absorbs heat, making the whole system get colder.

A slurry of ice and water will remain at its freezing point (0° C) until all the ice is gone. Salt water has a freezing point below 0° C, so if you make a slurry of ice and salt water, the slurry remains cold enough to freeze your ice cream.

Stuff in/near Dublin...
Malahide Castle is a short train ride north of Dublin. Really neat place. Occupied by the Talbot family from 1185 to the 1970s.
Chester Beatty Library is a neat collection of rare art and documents from all over the world.
