I fully expect to find a second mouth on the end of its tongue.

I've never understood why people seem to think it's necessary to clean a street. I mean sure, pick up the trash and whatnot, but why would you need to actually WASH the street?

Yes, but there's a problem with ostensive definitions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indeterminacy_of_translation

The hottest AIR temperature recorded on Earth was 56.7°C. And the AIR temperature inside a car rose by 31°C after 4 hours. What we're concerned with here is the temperature of the case.
Polypropylene CD cases (and polypropylene items in general) tend to have a more frosted appearance due to partial crystallization of the polymer chains.
Yes indeed, it was most certainly "hot as balls".

Oh I would MUCH rather use metric. Unfortunately I am frequently forced to do otherwise.

CD cases are made of polystyrene which has a softening point of 90°C (glass transition temperature = 100°C), so it was at least 90°C.

Apparently the numbat is also known as the "banded anteater"... which explains the tongue.

10 grams and 7 cm tall? ... It must have an absurdly low density.
Let's say that its body diameter is roughly a third of its height, approximating its volume as a cylinder we have V=pi*[(1.16)^2]*7=29.93 cubic centimeters. Which gives a rough estimate of density at d=(10 grams)/(29.93 cm^3)=0.33 g/cm^3. That's 1/3 the density of water! What is this thing made of?
