Ever since the last post on HN about insulating our bodies I got into researching hypothermia a bit. Princeton has a wonderful page on it containing many things I did not know[1]. One thing that struck me on this page as bizarre was this line: "at 90 degrees the body tries to move into hibernation" Surely that can't be right, we would have figured out practical use for this or at least observed it working in modern humans. Well, seems we have at least one case [2].
