One of the engineers is doing a few air flow studies and has a quantity of dry ice. He gave me a half-inch cube and I put it in my mug of tea. The tea is now stone cold and unfit to drink, but wicked cool-looking anyway.

When I was in elementary school my grandparents sent us some steaks packed in dry ice. Wicked cool.
See? I told you I'm only a Wannabe Geek. *sigh*
I risk exposing my deeply geeky childhood by admitting this, but when I was a kid, they sold dry ice at the Baskin Robbins and my brother and I would pool our allowance money and get a lump to put into our homemade cloud chamber. Ours wasn't quite this complicated, and I know that my brother used something he ordered from Edmund Scientifics for the radioactive component.
Yeah, when your mother bursts into the dark bathroom where you and your brother can be heard whispering and giggling and finds you watching vapor trails agaist the black felt of the cloud chamber on the bathroom counter, you know you're living in a deeply geeky household.
