Re: Who is cooler, Arefin Or Tytus

Their temperature depends on a couple of things:
Heat transfer
Metabolism & Biological inner-workings

Both of these things depend on the situation taking place to or around them.

Heat transfer:
It really depends on what each one is doing at the time. If Arefin is hanging out in a pool (many of his pictures show this activity) and Tytus is not, then Ari-man is the cooler dude at the time, since the water is cooling Arefin's body and pulling his temperature down. However, if Tytus is driving around southern Florida with his windows down causing cooler air to flow over his body, and the outside temp is lower than 98.6, then he would be cooler than his average body temperature. Of course, if one of them is sitting in a vat of ice and the other is sitting in a sauna, then the person in the ice is significantly more cool.

Biology:
Then again, heaven forbid, one of these guys might have an infection and his immune system would shift into overdrive, causing his body temp to rise and create what we call a "fever". This happened recently to Tytus when he foolishly took a bath in the water-jet muck. Also, we see Arefin always has a lady-friend in his "who am I" pictures, and I would assume that his heart rate rises when he near one of these favored females. That would bump his body temperature up a bit. This action could be seen as nervousness, causing him to perspire a bit.

My conclusion is that it really depends on the situation.

A better question would be this: Who is cooler under _________ situation?

I *think* that we may have a way to determine this. Both Tytus and Arefin are coming to IRI. IRI has a talent show. It could be seen as a "talent" to remain "cool" under certain situations. These situations could be pressure, nervousness, anxiety, sadness, or glee. I say that we hook these two cool dudes up to a body thermometer and test them, on stage, at the IRI talent show. Within 5 minutes or so, we could put them through a simple series of test situations to see who has the lower average body temperature throughout the test.

Arefin, Tytus, are you in for this?

Does anyone want to serve as the "test creator" (this must be approved by Amanda Morrison & myself)?
Does anyone want to serve as the "administrator of the test" (the person who gives them these series of tests within 5 minutes)?

This could be fun.

I will accept the challenge! lol...if they agree to do it though.

I could fit the madscientist test-admin part pretty well....o the ideas..
