[T3] Cryo (was leon's heads)

["Jacob Hoffman" <cobyhoff@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>In my previous profession, band instrument repair, some trumpet players were 
doing that.  It's supposed to align all the metal molecules and improve 
uniformed vibration throughout the length of the horn.  Skeptics pointed out 
that the difference in the metal, if any, would hardly be perceptable.  Not 
likely to make a horn play any different than any other sort of placebo.  
Trumpet players (my self not unincluded) are very sensitive to perceived 
differences.  As far as car parts, I'm not sure if it really aligns the 
molecules uniformly like they say, or if that is advantageous.  Amusing, 
none the less.
