Weird ice spikes
For some reason, my freezer will, about one in three trays, cause a single sharp spike to grow, 1-2 inches straight up, from the center of a random cube

Other people are wondering about the same thing, but Answers.com has the definitive answer.
Glad you finally remembered how to log in to your Blogger account! I assume that's the explanation for a 6 month blog hiatus.

I'm glad too about the login thing! Liquid must condense above the tray and then slowly drip down onto the tray. Possibly some aspect of the freez thaw cycle.

No, Derek convinced me he was right. The outer part of cube freezes first, and as the bottom layer expands, it forces the liquid center out through micro-cracks in the top, it builds up the same way as a volcano does.
