Haha - I was thinking the same thing.
Andy another thing to consider is that heat sinking dissipates items to the ambient temp - or well tries to. When using a TEC to cool it is best to have the diode as close to the TEC as possible. Then heat sink the hot side of the TEC to keep the temperature difference as high as possible.
If you heat sink the cool side of the TEC you are reducing the efficiency of the TEC and adding extra heat.
