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...

Yep

 

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!

60-70% seawater is the safe limit.

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

 

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

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

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:

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

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.

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..

What about 2 cats tied together at the feet?
