I never really understood why there was so much Chinese stuff in Fallout 3. I could see a few things...like the spies and a few random pieces of equipment, but IMO there was way too much in FO3 to explain away as, "well, they sent a few spies in, see..." I dunno. I had to crank up my Suspension-o-Disbelief-o-Matic to 11 with some aspects of FO3. It's just better not to ask "why" sometimes.
Really? I never would have guessed... :blink: Heh, you learn something new everyday, eh?
Yeah, any place that has extremely low humidity is likely to get cold when the sun goes down. Water has a really high specific heat and can hold onto a lot of heat energy. That's why hot water burns the crap out of you while a hot piece of aluminum probably won't do much damage. Between standing water, water vapor, and cloud cover water is the main reason some places stay warm at night.
