"On 4/22/03, we found a strange two-inch long shaft of ice "growing" at an upwardly-diagonal angle from our ice tray (see image below). The freezer is very clean, and we are certain that this was not a fragment which fell from the ceiling of the freezer into the ice tray as the water was freezing. Does anybody have any explanations?

Several had sexual theories ranging from Viagra to "It's happened to mine before. You need some little pink ice trays in there with the little blue ones."
One particularly funny email chastised me for hoaxing everyone. "Let me go grab an icicle off my roof - stick it in an ice cube tray and claim it is antigravity. You're such a doofus."
Several implied that it was a positive spiritual message; that good fortune was on its way. Always open to theories like that!"
