I am an ectotherm. Shall I present the evidence?
*I freeze in sub-85 degree F temps.
*My power bills average $30/month...in the summer- I do not run the AC.
*I did, however, have to fire up the space heaters (BOTH of them) this past week in order to survive the frigid 60-degree F night chill. I snuggled beneath my down comforter and an additional fleece blanket, clad in fleece pants, long sleeve shirt, and knee socks. Even still, I froze to death.
*While running at the gym on the treadmill in long pants, long sleeve shirt, and fleece jacket, I could not get warm. Shivering, I was miserable for the entire 35 minutes. WHILE RUNNING.
Homeostasis- what a crock!

And I on the other hand, am always hot! I sweat in my classroom and cool off when I walk over to yours. I can't wait to switch rooms!
