O.k. Squid, this question was in my son's Nick magazine but I was to see if you know the answer.

If the body's normal temperature is 98.6 why do we feel hot when we are in that temperature outside?

98.6 is your inner temperature (core temp). Your skin is at room temperature. When your skin goes above that, it feels warm. Youll notice that its not your lungs or your spleen or your pancreas that feels the warmth, its just your skin.

Am I right?

This is what the magazine says:

" Humans are warm blooded, which means that our bodies are constantly trying to maintain a steady internal temp. In the process, we produce excess heat that needs to go somewhere. It usually flows from the surface of our skin into the cooler air around us. When the temp. get to about 81, the air can't accept anymore of the heat that our bodies keep producing- and we feel hot. At that point, the body resorts to another trick- sweating."
 
Well, thats not what I learned in school, but it makes sense. Except that until the air is 98 it should accept the heat as it tries to equalize. Oh well. Do I trust Nickelodeon for my scientific research needs? Not really.

Dear Mr. Squid, is that too a rhetorical question or is there someone who should be answering that question?
 
:hmm: But if the thread is "ask Live Squid" (with the space)....wouldn't it be wrong for someone else to answer?
 
I was wonderinf that too. I had a few answers but chose to hold my tongue. :tongue:
 
Thats gross Butty. Dont you realize where thise hands have been?

Its not called "Questions Only LiveSquid Can Answer," is it? No, its not. So there. Besides, as the sole proprietor of this thread I have the authoritah to deputize people if I like.
 
:hmm: Wouldn't the sole proprietor also be considered the 'thread starter'?
 
:hmm: If a name is spelled 'incorrectly', and one has previously declared "that ain't me and/or my name"....can they still claim possession?
 
In this case, yes. Dont make me call security and ask you to leave MY thread... :rolleyes:
 
You two need to break it up before I get out the kiddie pool full of mud and make you two settle this once and for all:eek:
 
What? No way! That sounds like way too much fun! Youll never get me to stop now!! :rolleyes:
 
The hose is too clean, you need to mix the water with a little dirt!!
