It's so cold in Minneapolis (-21), you can pound nails with bananas, both peeled and unpeeled. This meteorologist does the frozen bubble trick as well, and tosses hot water into the air to watch it instantly evaporate. I actually tried the hot water thing myself when I got home from work tonight (it's -14 right now). It was pretty cool; I felt like Mr. Wizard.

It sublimates. The hot liquid water breaks up into ice crystals and then much of that goes directly into a gas state. That part which doesn't falls as snow.
It's almost the same thing that happens when you hang wet clothes out in winter. They freeze, and then they dry as the ice goes from a solid directly to a gas without passing thru the water state.
Sublimation.
Neat huh?
Hot water trick is always fun
If I remember biology, extra leaves in a clover is a recessive trait. Dominant traits such as normal leaves well affect the plant more than the extra leaves trait. If you breed two plants with extra leaves, the trait stays with the offspring so it also has extra leaves. Keep doing this, and eventually you will get a plant with a lot of leaves.
Not confirmed because that family member ate the 27-leaf clover.
p.s i would like to see more pictures.
That's hw I found this page; I was checking the web to see if I had a world record on my hands. Sadly not. By a LONG way!
56 leaf clover grown by the same Japanese farmer!!
