Me too - I thought he was harmless enough though.

He was harmless, to us. It's a shame he was his own worst enemy. :(

I bet his parents are really proud of him... :rolleyes:

Another from Ike:
Attachment 19407 Can someone explain to me how water can do this? How can water not only shift stones weighing hundreds of pounds but bring up caskets buried six feet under as well? It boggles my mind. |

They're not six feet under, they're in the concrete vaults which are partially above ground. The water table is too high to dig any deeper. In New Orleans they're above ground.

Okay, I understand now that the caskets aren't deep in the earth. And I also now understand that some caskets are airtight, which would cause bouyancy in flood conditions. But it still is amazing to me that water, nonpressurized, can lift entire vaults out of the ground. The National Guard was called in to retrieve an entire vault that floated onto a nearby road. The vaults themselves weigh hundreds of pounds empty. Some of the vaults were displaced with the casket still inside, which weighs an additional hundred pounds or so (not including the corpse)! That kind of force by mere water still boggles my brain.
I can't help but feel horrified for the families of the deceased. They probably have homes that have been flooded if not lost completely, and now this, too. I'm sure they (like most Americans) don't have the financial resources to handle the home, much less the grave. Yikes. |
Hydraulics, m'dear...

Battle and cruise ships float too as well as aircraft carriers.
It is distressing to see a tragedy like this happen tho. My prayers go out to those who were/are affected. |

I guess you' have to say its a Philly thing - The Eagles and the Cowboys, two rivals played football last night. Donovan McNabb, the Eagles QB was sacked late in the game while trying to come back from behind. It was another incredibly stupid play by a pretty talented guy.
Short answer - yeh that's pee. lol |
He did that on purpose, so they would get cocky and let their guard down. :lol2:

excellent post, mercy.
water is *heavy* folks. |
And, of course, there are two floating bridges in Seattle:

Yeah. I was going to mention the concrete ships but it was too much work. Anyway, I love this picture from Merc's link.

Flint, #5527 (guy ''surfing'' the wave at the shorewalk, Ike-related, I assume), do you by any chance still have the link to original source at hand?
Thanks, |

That is so wrong on so many levels, its more than frighting.

Ronald McDonald pleasuring himself while on acid? You only have to wait about 6-10 seconds before he's got his mouth gaping open and he's being rather, um, rhythmic.
YOU be the judge. |
Well, that ought to take care of any questions about where the special sauce comes from on the Big Mac, anyway.
