BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

I guess no one ever drowned in the oceans, huh?

ocean isnt salty enough, great salt lake you cant sink, because people
are lighter than the salt filled water

Oh, now I understand. =A0No one has drowned in the Great Lakes, the Dead
Sea, or the Caspian Sea, either - ****tard? =A0Maybe you're thinking of
the salt plains in Nevada.

Since when are the Great Lakes *salt* water??

The great salt lake is NOT a great lakes. Its out west....

Yes, *I* know that. Back up a bit, and read what I was responding to...

That's a bit of definitional retreat, from hair itself to hair dyes.

Nevertheless, of the variety of cases I've seen, it has nothing to do with
dyed hair, and everything to do with fair-haired kids, or older specimens
salon-bleaching their hair artificially blonde. Something in the pool
water is added to their fair hair, not taken away, to produce the green,
that something being copper. Tip concentration exaggerates the effect.

The few ppm of chlorine as in swimming pools does not bleach. It it were,
normal bathing in city water (which used to be sanitized with a ppm or two
of free chlorine, but nowadays almost all chloramine instead) would have
been bleaching everybody's hair dyes, and that certainly wasn't the case.

That, I would dispute.

Yeah, they drown in the ocean BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH SALT IN THE
OCEAN!

I was chatting with someone at a sport's game and they mentioned that
someone they knew put
in a salt water rather than fresh water pool in the back yard. Not one for
a pond of fish.

1) Are there any advantages to this?

[snip]

Advantages -- if you have a dependable source of salt water -- One of my
favorite pools was salt-water, at the Shek-O Country Club in Hong Kong.
They drew and exchanged salt water from the South China Sea and IIRC didn't
have to use complicated pool chemistry. Another peculiarity of that pool --
it didn't have a heater, it had a chiller to keep the pool water from
getting too hot in the tropic climate -- Regards --

Without air in your lungs, you sink. Once you start decomposing you
will float. An alternative to decomposing is just to keep air in your
lungs. That's what most of us do.

The only way I can float is to keep my lungs 100% full. 70% and
I'll start to sink. It makes it difficult to tread water when you have
to expend more energy just to breath.

Bone density, fat percentage, and muscularity determine your buoyancy.

Yes, that seems logical. I find that if I keep my lungs mostly full of
air, I can put my head back and float hanging down in the water with
just my face breaking the surface and my hands clasped behind my back;
sometimes just my nose breaks the surface. Luckily I have a big nose.

I took up surfing a few years back. I'm still pretty bad at it but it
sure is the easiest way to float. Just keep a longboard under you at
all times. At least until you go head over heels.
