That was lucky. Didn't know how that was going to go down.

Depending on the definition of temperature you use you can get some very odd answers.
The distribution of excited states in a laser corresponds to a negative thermodynamic temperature (below absolute zero) and when the laser is turned off this returns to a normal value by becoming infinitely negative (which is the same as infinitely positive- look at the reciprocals) then cooling down from a very high temperature.
One satellite that isn't gravitating towards the Earth and is in fact moving further away (by about 3.8 cm per year) is the moon, which is being sling-shotted out into space by the Earth. Consequently our last ever eclipse will probably be in about 700 million years...

Duct tape is more effective than Ritalin [] ...QuoteTeacher Quits After Duct-Taping Student To Desk
ORAN, Missouri - A teacher resigned last month after duct-taping a misbehaving 14-year-old to his desk and covering his mouth with tape, the school superintendent said Wednesday.
The parents of Tommy Brindley said the boy nearly suffocated on Feb. 19 before freeing himself about 15 minutes later at the elementary-middle school in Oran, a town of about 1,000 residents 120 miles south of St. Louis.
Tommy was in detention for being late to school three times, said his father, Larry Brindley. He began acting up during detention.
“He has attention deficit disorder, and he was misbehaving,” Brindley said. “He had some kind of a sponge and was throwing it. He wasn't being mean. He was just being ornery.”
The teacher, a 21-year veteran of the district, “just kind of snapped,” Brindley said.
Superintendent Tom Anderson said the teacher, whose name was not released, directed two other students to help her tape Tommy to his desk.
