Haha, I don't know, I'm still not convinced!!
But trust me that this particular girl would not have ben taking these theories into consideration. We split up as I found out she was getting a lot of "heat other heat sources" inserted into her!!Comment

It scares me that my girlfriend is a practicing doctor but still fails to grasp to the concept of a thermostat. I nearly sat her down last year and drew a graph explaining the relationship between heat and time and the effect the thermostat has on it. They actually do believe that putting the heat value up makes the house warmer quicker.
I want one of those fake thermostats for the girlfriend she can just change whenever she wants.Comment

I disagree Sir. As you know (), the air get's its temperature from blowing across the heat exchanger (radiator). This is designed to transfer heat from the hot coolant that flows through it to the air blown through it by the fan. Now, if you are blowing freezing cold air over freezing cold coolant, the logic is not hard to see that it's going to take you longer to heat that freezing cold coolant.
