Shane has done it once again. Yes, it's the Tiger Balm Gardens in S'pore, also known as Haw Par Villa. The makers of Tiger Balm, (two brother, I believe) created this place to introduce the various Chinese deities that are called into play by the use of Chinese medicines, especially their Tiger Balm. I use it when I'm trekking in the Malaysian jungles to keep myself safe. I figure rubbing it on it keeps the tigers away. So far, so good.

Okay, let's see if I can make this not too vague and not too obvious:
There's a strange phenomenon that appears under some circumstances when water is frozen; so strange that at first glance it appears to defy physical laws. Describe the phenomenon, and give its name. Bonus question: what's the correct spelling of my name? ![]() |

It's my bedtime, so don't think I'm ignoring you if you post an answer in the next few hours. I'll check in tomorrow (if we haven't been washed away! A worn-out tropical cyclone is lashing the place).

I'm back! The pond is overflowing its banks, but we're not actually flooded.

I don't know what it's called, but when water is exposed to temperatures well below the normal freezing point it will freeze very quickly. This causes it to freeze without forming crystals. I know someone who uses this to preserve tissue samples so the cells don't rupture.

Since I first saw this question, I have been trying to remember the name of a phenomenon I had seen on Youtube a few weeks ago. It involved a phenonema with ice freezing, whereby a protrusion is formed that can defy gravity. I remember what it was called now after finding the clip again!
Ice spike! (Perhaps this is the answer you are after, Shayne. ![]() Quote:
