I heard this from a physics professor (memory is fuzzy so words likely
wrong, but meaning is same):

      ``I decided to try firewalking.  The first time, I was really
	nervous---so I sweated a lot, and the sweat evaporating from
	my feet kept me from even feeling much heat.  The second time
	I was confident.  After all, I had done it before!  And since
	I didn't sweat, I burned the **** out of my feet.''

Sounds like Whatzisname's Effect to me.
