My mind moves in mysterious ways

[tsaiko]

My last two unrelated google searches:

Can you freeze sperm at home for future use?

Is there such a thing as dried corn syrup?

The answers are:

No, you need to use liquid nitrogen and have proper storage equipment in order to keep the sperm from being damaged.

Yes, corn syrup can be dried into a crystalline solid.

And I then wonder why no one will play against me at Trivial Pursuit.

There's probably certain suspension media that you need to freeze human sperm in too, because, you know, water expands when crystallized and tends tend to explode cells.

If you have anybody who does cell culture in a lab, they can tell you in more detail.
