	I don't know if the above quote was intended to be serious or
not.  In the event that it was intended to be serious, it is most
assuredly not true.

	Readily available thermoelectric cooling devices will easily
achieve temperatures of -10 to -20 deg C, which is certainly sufficient
to freeze water.  Cambion is probably one of the largest and most well
known manufacturers of thermoelectric cooling devices.
