Sunday night question....

[Paul1566]

Why do ducks walk to the pond when we all know they can fricken fly ???????

[slobodan]

Do you use Easyjet to get to the swimming pool?

[Apache]

They're not very good at landing.

I take it you've never watched 'Aircrash Investigation'?

Can you answer me this..
If every boat, ship, tanker, yatch, etc were lifted out of the sea, how much would the sea level go down?

[childishlysimple]

Not as much as if you took out all the sponges.....

[Apache]

Surely you mean the DSS bill?




Oh sorry, you said sponge's' not spongers

Good question, Vince. Iv'e got a supplementary question to that....Global warming/Icebergs.... We all know that water expands when it freezes, and that icebergs are something like 80% submerged.....So, if all the icebergs melted, surely sea levels would fall, rather than rise....?.........Cheers....mick.

It's all to do with the aliens ......But they have not visited lately .........

[BUSHWHACKER]

Speaking of Aliens, where's Logey?

Did he elope with Bibs?

The world's oceans contain approximately 1.37 bn cubic km of water. The volume of displacement of the entire world's boats & ships is negligible by comparison. Therefore there would be no perceptible change.

Yeah I read that too.

If all the icebergs melted the sea level would stay at essentially the same level. However this does not take into account any effects due to climate change resulting in the more volatile nature of water (which constantly evaporates and falls as rainfall, unlike ice).

However a very large amount of the world's ice is on land. The ice contained within the Greenland Ice Sheet represents a sea-level rise equivalent of over 7 metres. The ice contained within the Antarctic Ice-sheet represents over 60 metres of sea-level change. Therefore, if both the Antarctic Ice-Sheet and the Greenland Ice-Sheet were to melt, sea-levels would rise by over 67 metres.

This would be, generally speaking, a Bad Thing.

Google is a wunnerful thing ain't it...?

Can you make Lexurf VI amphibious? Or maybe just add a reeeaaalllly long snorkel...
