Drinking sea water for to satisfy thirst makes you more water needy than before!

 

So it's a better idea to stightly dilute the fresh water you already may have with the sea water to get more water...

Then they played a trick on our navy and pull the stopper out.

 

At least now we have a submarine.

:eek: Lol :)

Yes! and STILL half the bloody population has below average intelligence !!

It's not so much the lack of intelligence as it is the death of common sence!!!!!!!!!! Ever wonder why your lawn mower has either a picture of a hand losing its fingers or a foot being cut in two??? Nobody has common sence anymore. And some stupid jerk or jerks lost fingers or toes and sued!

Can you dilute it with urine?

60-70% seawater is the safe limit.

 

Why do you want to use urine? I suppose that it will be around 10-15% max limit, but I'll check up.:)

That's much higher than I would have thought possible. Facinating

Well, it's better than English Beer, and it could save you life if you had no other water.

 

A Quirky Science Fact-

Early Chinese gunpowder makers got their saltpetre from boiling pig manure and then cooling it to make saltpetre crystals

Prozac, the popular antidepressant was repackaged and renamed Sarafem to treat Pre-Menstrual Dysphoria Disorder :xx:

Science fact?;)

Of course, you have heard the story about the man who died of PMS? (Premenstrual Syndrome)

Interesting!

 

Gotta ask yourself, though - the first guy to do it, what the hell was he thinking? "Hey, look! There's some pig ****! I'll just boil it and see what happens!" :xx:

LOL some things are funny like that! such as soap which would have been made from animal fat originally.

Very good LOL!

What was he thinking?:xx:

 

Apparently licking the mixture checked the crystals for unwanted salt.;)

Now there is a job that . . ( words fail me). . .

If one considers a height of above 7 floors, the higher a cat falls from, the lesser it hurts itself.

 

Seriously, I believe terminal velocity of objects falling through fluids has something to do with it...

A cat always falls on its feet, and a piece of toast always falls with the buttered side down.

 

Contrary to popular belief, a cat with a piece of toast tied to its back will not hover in mid-air.

Maybe it's because the cat dies quicker when dropped from a higher floor?:xx:

Its something about the cat freaking out, but then after dropping more than 7 floors gets itself calmed down a bit and braces for impact better..

Cells in our body can achive immortality!

Cells removed from Henrietta Lacks a ternminally ill woman from Baltimore have been growing in lab. culture dishes ever since 1951.

They are now so numerous they are used to study the biology of cells in laboratories all over the world.
