We don't make it float. It's physics. The ship weighs less than the water it displaces. It's kind of like fourth grade stuff. No disrespect.

Some people in college can't comprehend fourth grade stuff. Or even spell or write at the fourth grade level. So how would you expect brainless1911 to understand displacement?

She sure does look awesome with the crew manning the rails though. Thanks glockoldstyle.

While I appreciate and respect the issues involved in OC at a Starbucks that is in a Target store, I feel that some of us with CPL's should OC to those locations as I doubt the anti-gunners boycotting will know the difference and those stores would suffer too. If some of us with CPL's OC'd there we could show support to stores that may otherwise not see it. Just my two cents worth. I plan on going to one in Target and a stand alone that day. And yes I have my CPL.

Gravity is the force behind why boats float. Without gravity the water would not weigh more than the boat.

Regardless, boats and water are a bit off topic and detract from the gravity of this very important thread. And yes, I added to the thread drift too.

Without gravity neither would "weigh" anything. Also, frogs can't swallow with their eyes open, and slugs have four noses. At least my fun facts aren't obvious. :p

Yes but.. the answer to the question of "Why do boats float?" can be answered by "Because gravity keeps them from sinking."

Anyway Yooperlady and I will be at the Starbucks on Tittabawasse Rd. on Feb. 14th.

If you would have simply answered the question that way all and sundry would have lauded you far and wide for, quite frankly, a brilliant answer, me included.

since i am an ex sail boater, i feel i can clear up the real reason that boats float.
boats float because the water is on the outside!:D
