If you are not a troll, then you sure are a good imitation of one.

See things like fathoms and leagues are more exciting than miles and kilometers . Of course i probably could have just multiplied that and got the answer .

Think about this information....There WILL be a test.
Here sanspeur I'll post it again to refresh that ole tired mind of yours

Are you trying to tell me that ships can anchor in water deeper than 400 feet with only the 400 feet of rope you claim that Noah had?.....I stand by what I said.....So tell me, what part of the anchor gear is missing in order for it to work?

why do you need twice the amount of rope compared to the depth? I'm assuming it has something to do with the weight pulling the ship down, or am i wrong?

It is not harmless, for this ignorance has an impact on society, and <shudder> he may be raising another generation of stunning willful ignorant children. He likely votes, and that imposes his (and those that share this exterme willful ignorance) into government and laws. (such an issue will be on the May ballot in NC and MN to impose such ignorance into our state constitution.)

Remember: Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.

And he demonstrates the worst kind of ignorance, willful and deliberate ignorance, the most dangerous and inexcusable ignorance.

You have been using your mind to make up a constant stream of fantasies and bull excrement. My dog has a better grasp of science than you do.
