Yeh exactly, I can probably dent a car just by pressing on it with my thumb 
quite hard.  I'm pretty sure I couldn't kill someone by pressing on their 
head with my thumb...

Seeing ice on the roads in July (when it's usually 30 degrees) was a bit 
weird...

Luckily I was in a hotel at the time and only caught the edge of it.  My 
friend lost his PC though because he kept it on a desk under a skylight that 
got smashed...
