When your science teacher smashed a frozen rose with a hammer, did you warm the petals to bring them back to life?
Wow. This is so poetic I feel like I should have--only my science teacher never did smash a frozen rose--in Grad School a friend of mine liberated a small amount of liquid nitrogen and we spent an evening freezing random foodstuffs and throwing them down the (5 story) staircase. The banana was my favorite. Don't worry, we picked it all up (frozen banana shards!Yes!)when we were done.
