water is a better conductor than air?????? liquid transfers heat 8 - 10
times more slowly than air. if you go into a swimming pool in on a 100
degree day, the water is still cool.

if you put your finger over a flame with nothing but air in between, versus
putting it in a pan of water sitting on that flame, i think you'll note the
difference in conduction.

then again, why would anyone other than gordon liddy want to?
