Look at the can of worms I opened. I think it's time to answer this question. I'll only quote the last part of the solution (the first part deals with an experiment you can do):
As you can see, putting the wood in the full cup of water does not make the cup heavier. The wood and water it displaces are equal in weight. That's why the wood floats.
So this time both MJO and Growly are right! Congratulations! I thought this question would be easy after the solution to the first question I posed a couple of days ago. Anyway, I'll pose the next question on Monday, so those of you who don't usually surf on the weekends won't be left out of this science-fest.
Just stepped out of the show for an hour or so to update this page and.. that's about it I guess. JI didn't show up, so I never got around to using my camera. We were delayed by fifteen minutes because one of the fluorescent bulbs blew up and scattered glass over the area where our AV equipment was supposed to go (we waited a while for plant-ops to clean it up before cleaning it up ourselves). No, no.. it didn't blow up while we were there, it was already all over the area by the time we got there. We were actually able to find most of the pieces for the plastic cover for the light fixture and I tried to put it back together to see if it was an accident or if someone deliberatly threw something up there to knock it down. Our results were inconclusive (at least I had no idea). But it was something to pass the time.
Geez, there's quite a bit of lightning up there in the sky. It hasn't started raining yet and I can't hear the thunder, but it's only a matter of time before the storm hits us. What a crazy week it's been for rain.
Been perusing the journals, and I see that Laz has a Counter-Strike story up. I might as well relate a story of my own, although mine isn't as heroic (I was there personally when he was the last terrorist on 747 and wiped out three cts single-handedly). I've learned to attack when people are reloading, and I've learned to aim for the head. What I have learned the most is that the sniper-rifle is king in dust. As a counter-terrorist, I usually got an MP5 and rushed into this killing zone to hold off the terrorists from rushing into our area and bombing one of our two targets. This failed quite miserably. Our team members were okay, but we were uncoordinated, and poorly equiped. After a few aggravating deaths, I went all out and bought myself an Arctic Warfare Sniper Rifle. I planted myself on one end of the entrances that allowed me to look across the entire building and waited. I'm glad friendly fire was off, because I could see through my scope the wave of people congragating in the killing zone. Wasting no time, I let a bullet fly. One terrorist fell. Another bullet. Another terrorist dies. Soon, more terrorists tried rushing through, and while some of my men were holding them off, one of my bullets passed through a teammate and takes down two more terrorists. It was a shooting gallery, and I went from four kills to nineteen kills in three frames. By then, they had learned their lesson and stopped rushing the killing zone.
Man that was a confidence booster, one of these days though, I'll see if I can pull a Laz..
Sparky's been busy as well, with a little story about her day at work and some Tonyisms. (Hmm.. Tonyism.) Anyway, on the way back to the office from the show, I ended up walking behind these two girls. One of them glanced back to see who was following them (I wasn't following! Honest!) but I didn't recognize her. The other girl I didn't really pay attention to until she held the door open for me. I had already headed towards the other door, but I thought she might look like.. er.. that girl I have a crush on. I should've double checked because it's going to bother me for a while. How come when you start getting intersted in someone you tend ot see that person everywhere you go? Or at least you think you see that person everywhere you go.
Well, actually.. no. Not every girl. Most though. There are some who.. I probably know so well that it's hard for me to mistake someone else for that person. I'm not going to say who tho.

Oh yeah, the bathtub guy. I only feel like a little bit of a twit. Oh well. I think I'll go off and prove that the world is flat now.
I still say it would taste better.
