Nothing useful to add, but [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/effect-of-each-body-on-room-temperature/945220) had me thinking about Bikram Yoga. Not knowing anything about it except it was in a hot room, I looked it up on Wikipedia, where I read about the corpse pose (something I had not known about before). Then the very next thread I mouse over, that term is in the preview. Freak me out, man, freak me out.
