What does "Intelligent Boyancy" even mean?

[Mitt Romneys sideburns]

Here, we can debate the age old question, "How do steel boats stay afloat?"

When I look at a steel boat, I know it must be floating for some reason. Its not by accident. I also know that steel does NOT float. When you drop a piece of steel into water, it sinks. It sinks every time. Every piece of steel you drop in water will sink right to the bottom.

So, how then can a steel boat stay up, if steel sinks? How else can it stay afloat, unless some outside "intelligence" is keeping it afloat? It defies nature, therefore there must be some supernatural force keeping it afloat.

I thought you were banned, Sideburns.

BTW.....you won the "RPF best handle" award.

I assume you meant buoyancy above rather than boyancy, which I'm not sure is a word but might refer to an inclination to molest little boys.

 

[SeanEdwards]

It's witchcraft.

 

[FreeTraveler]

It's obvious. There's a supernatural being that holds all those boats up, since it's patently impossible for metal to float.

How does Romney's hair stay so neat when his head is up his ass--now that requires a supernatural explanation.

The moisture within the rectal-colonic area acts as a natural conditioner and hair gel. Duh!!!!

It is full of air and thick and inflexible enough to displace everything around it. Once enough of it goes in, the sum total is lighter than water.

How a steel ship floats I have no idea...

Wow. It's so clear to me now that the steel boat wasn't designed in a factory somewhere. It's obvious the steel boat evolved in a shipyard for millions of years from a toy boat...

I have the advantage of working with Mechanical Engineers everyday, so I went and asked a Ph.d in Fluid Mechanics and his answer was really simple:

The upward force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

The displaced water must occur before the object is submerged.

The average density of a boat , both steel and air, is very light compared to the average density of water.

We are not talking about where Steel Boats came from, we are talking about how they stay afloat.

Archimedes's principle.

IOW, a heathen Greek running around in a blanket was first to explain the working of buoyancy.

Of course, we didn't quite believe him and sticked to woods for few more centuries.

Thats just a theory

I have higher standards. I dont just go around accepting any junk science that is thrown my way.


When I look at a steel boat, I know steel doesnt float. Thats just logical. I dont need to do scientific experiments to know that, I just do. So there must be some reason that boat is floating. Someone higher intelligence greater than ourselves must be holding it up.

 

[asgardshill]

Steel boats and ships don't "float" per se. Like helicopters, they're just so damned ugly that the ocean bottom repels them. Now if they were made of wood like God intended, then they would float.

(And Archimedes can go hang - he was a Skull and Bones man all the way).

This is comedy gold right here.

Sounds about right to me, unless you drop a steel boat in the water.

I truly suspect you have been eating corn fungi. It is black and grows on ears of corn sometimes. Farmers call it smut.
People that have eaten it always end up talking corny Smut.
