Things that have bothered you for a long time.

The night sky over Birmingham is always bright orange. Am I seeing the Northern Lights?

Yeah, it's the light pollution from North Birmingham

Spinosaurus just doesnt look right.

Why has Yngwie Malmsteen blocked me on Facebook? I've never even heard of him. Apparently he is some sort of Swedish guitarist.

It's not the mass of the ice that's important, it's the volume when it melts. It will decrease.

It would if the volume was all below the surface. But because it floats, some of the volume is above the surface.

With a floating object, it is thw mass which matters, because any "extra" volume will be above the surface.

Have you ever heard of the 'tip of the iceberg'?

 

[Alex321]

Have you ever heard of the 'tip of the iceberg'?

Yes. Roughly 10% of the iceberg is above the surface.

Which strangely enough is about the same % as the difference in mass between a given volume of ice and the same volume of water.

I'm a fan of McCoy's crisps. But why can't you buy multi packs of ready salted ones? I've not seen them anywhere. You can get all the other flavours in a 6 pack, and a mix containing 2 ready salted.

Cause they are too dull!🤣🤣🤣

Would that mean if the complete iceberg melted then the total volume of water would remain the same?

Yes.

Apart from the minor difference in density between the fresh water that the iceberg is composed of and the sea water it is floating in.

Why does www.x.com redirect to www.twitter.com? If 'X' is the new name then it should be the other way around.

What do recorders actually record?
(apart from a collection of spit from the previous players)

What does Emma Watson think about being the most searched for woman for nude pictures for the last fifteen years? Is she flattered or annoyed?

R.J. Mitchell famously designed the Spitfire. Barnes Wallace designed the Vickers Wellington (as well as the bouncing bomb and the tall boy and grand slam bombs). Alex Issigonis famously designed the mini. How can anyone be so clever as to design a plane or a car? I am not sure I could design an egg beater.

Or traumatised .
