No Ice Thanks

[oneofsix]

As for the density ... which would you prefer to jump onto from a helicopter ... onto ice ... or the water ... ???

would it be safe to say you would have to be pretty dense to do either?

Actually ... I have done both. And both have their "Issues" ...

Some of the finest humour I have read on here in this thread.

AGW baby... it's always a hoot.

Water expands as it freezes into ice. It then reduces in size as it thaws.So there is no chance your glass will overflow. You can test (prove) this by filling a glass screw to bottle with water and place in freezer overnight.

Does frozen water evaporate when thawing?

Fixed it for yous....

quite right too. They don;t like it when you ask for coke at KFC

yep and it doesn't even need to be thawed, and you can try this experiment at home to. put a measured volume of ice cubes in your deep freeze and leave them there for a month or so then check the volume left, there will be less and they have never even thawed. he surface of the ice cubes lose vapour into the inside of the deep freeze and remember this is all happening at a temperature that is below 0. These are the same conditions that exist over ice sheets during ice ages very low temperature and very low humidity.

Hmmm. Whatever the combination of reasons for recurring ice ages we should be very thankful that ice is water. Imagine if ice sank like most other frozen liquids. Layer upon layer. Under pressure. Unable to melt.
Speaking of pressure. I still struggle to get my head around the fact that you can swim or put subs into water at huge depth with no effect on the ability to move but can still be crushed. In my own experience it feels the same 60 mtrs down as it does on the surface. Deep sea fish are soft. WTF?
The world record for no limits free diving is about 100mtrs last time i looked. No restriction on movement yet the gas in all cells is compressed to massive extremes. Lungs squeezed to the size of oranges. Weird.

Strange stuff water.

I deny the existence of that product.

Or big macs

Personally I blame global warming on the whole thing. That's why KFC workers are so uptight.

Seriously, since when is a web site where anyone can write in and change historical fact any sort of an accurate reference. The term scientist is being used fast and loosely of late.
Even the man/scientist who first thought GM was for real has now said."No I was wrong"

So when are you going to update your bike status with that recent new purchase in all, when Hell freezers over? and is that scenario even a possibility?
