Sailing

Floating ice melting in freshwater will not rise the water level. Seawater is a different matter though:

Also, most of the icecaps are on land such as Greenland and Antarctica, so melting ice is still a concern.

Yeah, I already said that, it pretty much blows the whole no rise in sea levels thing out of the water. Erm.. No pun intended...

Meh, you were wrong and I was wrong, we learn something new every day.

[Kjølen]

I was the only one who was right.

[Fealiks]

Now let's all skip home together.

[Joshi]

I don't skip... I trot.

[Fealiks]

You trot? Show me the way.

[Joshi]

I cannot teach you the way... but I will allow you to learn.

[Kjølen]

What is seen cannot be unseen.

 

[Joshi]

You watched it, you cannot unwatch it!

[Fealiks]

I am missing vital informations.

[Joshi]

And that is why you fail.

[Fealiks]

Darn.

Sorry to re-rail the derailed topic, but I did some sailing as a young child with my father when I used to live by the bay. I remember we would always get up really early in the morning, take the covers off the boat and let her rip. Those were honestly some of the best times in my life. I just wish we still had that boat .

[Joshi]

Amazing isn't it... how this thread was once about sailing.

[Fealiks]

I've never sailed.

[Joshi]

I have, wasn't that memorable really.

[Fealiks]

I've never been in any sort of boat, plane or helicopter. Or truck. Or motorbike. In fact I've only ever been in/on cars, vans, pushbikes, rollerblades, skateboards, scooters (not the motor kind) and pogo sticks.

[Joshi]

I've been in planes, trains, automobiles, boats, choppers (the heli-kind) on a motorcycle and a space shuttle (though the space shuttle wasn't in space at the time).

[Fealiks]

Actually yeah, I've been in trains.

 

So what's it like in a space shuttle?

[Joshi]

Cramped... it was a fairly old one. None too impressive really, when you're 11 years old, you expect more flashy lights and big red buttons.

[Fealiks]

The overall design of space shuttles hasn't really changed much in 40 years... maybe they are all slacking off and pretending to know what they are doing... yeah that's it... it's all a conspiracy...

[Joshi]

Or perhaps the current design works well enough for now (although a better way of escaping earths gravity would be nice...space elevator, space elevator!).

[Fealiks]

Oh, what so all of a sudden function is more important that aesthetics? WE'RE IN THE 21ST CENTURY, NEIL.

[Joshi]

Uh oh, who told him.
