Greg Locke jotted down the following:

Well obviously!  Otherwise you'd have to read *physics* books and trust me,
I may not have much of a life right now, but I'm not about to start reading
*physics* two days before x-mas!!!

No, because before long there'll be a "SCHLUU-WIPPP" sound and the close
sides will warm up due to shared body heat.  Now, their far sides will, of
course, still be exposed to the wind and will get cooler -- due to
windchill.  So I guess you're right, the Venturi effect is related to
windchill.
