Your mother starts you out with your first stupid question.
"WHERE DID YOU LOSE IT?"
Mum: WHERE DO YOU LOSE IT?
You: Fuck I don't know. IT'S LOST THAT MEANS I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT FUCKING IS!
Mum: WHERE?!?!
You: I DON'T FUCKING KNOW!!!!!!!!!
Show me the power child,
I'd like to say,
That I'm down on my knees today,
Gives me the butterflies,
Gives me away,
'Til I'm up on my feet again,
I'm feeling outshined.
if he was in a -57°C climate under high pressure, getting wet would be the least of his worries. Anyway the -57°C has nothing to do with liquifying it, they just compress the gas into the liquid, then let it expand. This happens so rapidly that it causes a drop in temperature so that some will freeze and can be compacted. Dry ice is -78°C, not -57°C.
Steve Zissou: Anne-Marie, do all the interns get Glocks?
No, listen carefully: SOLID carbon dioxide is -78°. LIQUID is -57°. I never said dry ice wasn't -78°, because that had nothing to do with what I was saying.
At any more than -78°, CO2 sublimes directly to gas, UNLESS it's highly pressurised, in which case it will become a liquid and only change to gas at over -57°.
jp, any chemical can be solid\liquid\gas, it's just harder for some thingies than it is for others
why all the swearing?

No Radix you're thinking of hydrocarbonatedhypergraphinate dioxide, its a very different substance from solid carbon dioxide, thats for damn sure! The boiling point varies dramaticly, trust me!. Insted of the normal -78° it can reach to anywhere below -260,000° before it sublimes directly to gas and can only change back to a solid if it reaches extremly high tempretures around 8 million degrees, and there is no way that type of tempreture will ever occur on earth in a hurry, maybe after the sun explodes maybe!
and Jp, the information that you said about carbon dioxide being a gas? oh you couldn't be more wrong. You're probably thinking of hydrocarbonatedhypergraphinate dioxide.
So, maybe everyone that is argueing about this carbon baking soda thing should actualy try reading their geography books insted of just making shit up pretending to know what they are talking about.
Although dry ice is in liquid form when melted, the conditions required to put in liquid form is enough to put the average human in solid form. Thus, no, you won't get wet if you swim in it.

Muggus > actually, i have the ability to look for something and find it, and if someone distracts me, i keep looking for it even though i might be holding it >_<
@Kirby Smith: You cannot melt dry ice, that is why it is dry. It skips the liquid state of matter and goes straight to gas via a process called sublimation.
