Well, if you can dip the probes from an ohmmeter into a bowl of
helium-II and measure resistance other than that internal to the
probe cables and the meter itself, I'd love to see it. And yes,
Helium-II does still qualify as matter. Actually, if you leave
the probes in for a while, you'll start losing resistance in the
probe cables -- most metals lose resistance with extreme cold if
they aren't alloyed in a way that will break easily. Oh, use
gloves for this test.

When I was crossing the border into Canada, they asked me if I had any
firearms with me. I said "Well, what do you need?" -- Steven Wright
