User blog:MsD/Whatever floats your boat

The year is 2026 and the time is October 31.

Virtual Textbook: Your boat primarily consists of material resistant to the powerful capabilities of liquid water. To prevent the ship from sinking into the water, along with its valuable contents (potentially a human), that material must be less dense than the powerful H2O.

Student 1: What is that material? It sounds so...amazing...

Student 2: Metal. Water doesn't...uh...do, like, anything to it, and, well, they can, uh...make it, like, light so it can float.

Student 3: What about stone? Wouldn't that work?

Student 2: No. That's too heavy.

Student 3: You suck! I'll prove you wrong!

Student 3, while on their long commute back home from school, picked up a large quantity of hard stones and placed them into their bookbag. They then used superglue to hold the rocks in place and create a large sheet, one in which she wished to float in the backyard pool. They grabbed their camera, and recorded the incident.

Mom 3: Be careful!

Student 3: I will!

Guess what? It didn't float.
