Oh boy next you're going to tell us you took a physics class and heard about these things called Plank length and time and how that statement is meaningless because every moment of existence can be considered a still image in a sequence.

disco_stu posted:I had to do this for a lifeguard test. The idea was to jump in the pool with your clothes on and use your clothing to float for an hour. Worked pretty good. It's definitely way better than treading water for an hour. I'm not sure how well it would work in rough waters. Jeans hold air pretty well and the few wearing jogging pants did not have a good time. They just balloon and you can't see a thing while just barely floating. While we are on the subject: has anyone ever had a real world situation where they needed to pick up a brick from the bottom of a lake?

I guess I've not used my brick in a pool skills as much as I could but my ability to play a Recorder sure has helped my life!

Possibly floor triggered poison gas that fills the room slowly and has to be shut off by the repositioning of suits of armor. Tombs and temples have quicksand....maaaaaaaybe haunted jungle paths as well. Get back on your game!

Look at this scrub, whose mansion isn't large enough to have a couple quicksand traps in edition to all that. What do you do to door to door salesman/proselytizers? Depend on a gate? Release the Hounds? Heh, I bet your golf caddy's chauffeur's limo only has three televisions at most.

I wouldn't look a lost Nazi gold bar in the mouth, that's for certain. Unless she could get in some sort of serious trouble for selling it, like it's stamped with a (valid) government seal or the German equivalent of the IRS would seriously audit her after she sold it.

A student was giving a presentation in our geology class and he had just been on a canoe trip on northern Minnesota. He showed off a picture he took out on the lake. You could see through the clear water down to a boulder with a sizeable gold vein below. I asked him why he didn't attempt to get that Rock out. At 1000+ an ounce it was worth the trouble. He didn't really have an answer.

I don't think you can easily sell gold bars of that worth without it raising some questions real quickly.

Strudel Man posted:So you cut it into smaller pieces. Yeah, cut it into pieces, hammer the pieces into indistinct lumps. Then sell it to one of those dodgy places that advertise they buy old gold jewelry for scrap and only give you half what it is worth. They know half the stuff they are getting is stolen, they just don't give a gently caress.
