I really wouldn't do that, being in the freezer will probably only
result in condensation on it, which we really don't want

If it's over heating just leave it out on the table or something
for a bit. Although it's probably just died and wouldn't work anyway
:(

See ya :)

Everything in The Dam Busters (1955) was painstakingly accurate,
except
for one thing. While English audiences could handle it, the name of
Wing Cdr Guy Gibson's real-life dog 'Nigger' was redubbed to 'Trigger'
for American audiences.
