Warren Buffet is a smart man. Moreover, he has common sense. Here is an excerpt from his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. It’s good. Go read.

They sell these for cooking, but I figure there have to be cooler (no pun intended) uses for them.
It’s an “anti-griddle” that maintains a steady -30°F for freezing the outside of things.

Giraffe Manor in Kenya.
The Giraffe Manor, built in 1932 by Sir David Duncan, is situated on 120 acres of land just a few miles from the centre of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital city. In 1974 Jock Leslie-Melville, grandson of a Scottish earl, and his wife Betty, who also founded the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW), bought the Manor. They then moved five babies of the highly endangered Rothschild giraffe to their property where they have been successfully reared and they now have their own babies.
If I ever find myself lucky enough to travel to Kenya, this would definitely be on my to-see list.
