Nobody tried to eat iceberg yet...so no firsthand research is available...

not even a lettuce??? which isn't the iceberg i meant

a signed hits outta hell lp for 15 quid, under an hour to go!! no bids

I'm pretty sure an iceberg is colder, as icecubes usually have the temperature of the freezer (~-2 to -3°C) and if an iceberg had that temperature in the ocean, which is of course warmer than 0°C, it'd either be melting very quickly or woulnt even have reached the size it has.

Most icebergs splittled from Arctica or Antarctica, eg are show fallen over centuries, pressed together to ice, and if the iceberg ice has been covered with tons of other ice over centuries it'd surely be quite cold, in any case colder than -3°C




I'm just too smart for this world :))

nice answer

Each morning I get up I die a little, can barely stand on my feet

To avoid complications I never kept the same address

i still have absolutely no idea what baab is about, the lyrics make absolutely no sense, they're complete nonsense.. repeated alot granted

whats your new adress then?

des wrote them

but he also did if god could talk, which is pretty damn good

nah

that was an amazing piece of marketing by prince and his record company today.. free album.... how many millions did that introduce princes music too????

I'm nine.

as if I would tell... :p

you were 6 yesterday

did u tear all the pictures of us living life together?

Work it out honey, work it out....;)

you have multiple personalities?

Think about it some more.... ;)

a maid as beautiful as she, I have never ever had

It is really about time that we spend a day in Heide Park again!!!!

we? ................................ no








(sorry, couldnt think of a better stupid comment right now :p)

You´re forgiven :saint:

the time for forgiveness is noooow

knew it...just knew it... also know that you know that I´d say I knew it :p

back to work in a few hours, shame

may have found the next car... after a small 9 month search

Hell of a storm here last night. Didn't last for that long but I've never seen rain like it with hailstones the size of 5p pieces. The thunder and lightning was impressive and some of it struck just a tad too close for comfort. This tree used to dwarf my 4 story building and missed by 8'!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you x (I think... lol...)

Well...iceberg lettuce will have somewhat different temperature...but iceberg and ice cube...probably the same although I am not willing to do the taste test...

i need a credit card

I need a credit card where bill goes and gets paid elsewhere...

Going back to the question raised about what's colder, an ice cube or an ice berg ...

It all depends. If the ice berg is pure water, then it's the same at the point of freezing zero degrees centigrade.

However. If the ice berg is made up of frozen sea water, which has an average salinity of 35 parts per thousand of salt, then at the point of freezing the iceberg is colder, since averagely saline sea water freezes at -2 degrees centigrade.

Of course the other issue is what tenperature each is stored at ... if the icecube is in a freezer which is at -10 degrees centigrade and the iceberg is at zero, then the ice cube is colder! Basically there are too many unknowns in the original question.

Tomorrow's science lesson will involve jumping on a moving train or light speed ... :))

:Stunned:

ATTENTION
*play on words*

I need a credit card where the bill gets paid by bill gates!! :smartass::smartass::smartass:

No, no, no. Absolutely not. It's actually making me angry now that I can't get my head around it!

My thoughts - what to wear tonight?! :panic:

BUT, an iceberg always consists of pure water, no salt.
- otherwise it wouldnt swim
- if it has been part of arctica/antarctica, it was fallen snow in the first place and that's pure water anyway
- it it froze in the ocean, the salt doesnt get frozen WITH the water, just the water freezes, the salt, erm.....sinnks.

Sorry RJ, no it doesn't

I think the antarctic icebergs have got some ozone in them...... isn't that where the holes first started appearing? The holes that apparently have now healed themselves...... probably with a carbon footprint.

sure? always thought so...

This is pretty weird discussion for a Meat Loaf forum...shouldn't we be all artsy fartsy and above it all???

Depends on where the iceberg was formed ... if it's come from a glacier then the chances are it's predominantely made from "fresh" water. If it comes from an ice shelf then it's a mixture of fresh and sea water. Even a glacial iceberg will contain some frozen saline water though.

Andy, did you see that Meat played Stone Pony???

I've known that for about 19 years Zina :))

Well, how was I supposed to know THAT?

I wasn't even born 19 years ago! :roll:

I always said you were the result of a laboratory experiment :p

No, according to my late mom, I am an alien...

In any event...better question is...how did YOU know THAT when you were 2 years old??? :wtf:

Andy...you're such....ummm...hmmm...the best moderator...:mrgreen:

back on topic :p

I think that saline water loses all it's salt at the freezing process. At least that's what I read somewhere years ago.

I'm quite confused now :confused:

Which means...GET OFF THIS TOPIC ALREADY!!!

Us simple humans and aliens got our minds boggled with this...

As sea water reaches freezing point, the salt in the solution is "rejected", hoewever this results in denser "fresh" water being created. This denser water sinks through the warmer salt water below it, with more salt water therefore being present at the surface of the sea. As a result when the solid ice is formed it is a mixture of fresh water and sea water ... ie a less saline solution, but not all of the salt if "rejected" throught the ice formation process.

What Andy said

...what am I reading?!

Pre released segments of AndyK's book entitled...............................

The Titanic and how it all went wrong when the stewards ran out of ice.

I don't even think there's a way I can pretend to have read it already is there? :? ;)

Just smile sweetly and say "Yes Dear".......................................


Worked for me in Manchester lol

I tell you, if they'd stuck to my theory of adding nothing to a whisky but another whisky to keep it company then they wouldn't have run out and the ship wouldn't have sunk!!

That's the last you see of that Macallan :p

And I come out of it smelling of roses! :lmao:

:))

It was the "I know, steer right a bit and grab the ice buckets" idea that sank it lol

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, something very positive came out of it...Leonardo DiCaprio drowned...

:lmao: You two are honestly going to cause another disaster! :lol:

We're innocent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you believe that! LOL

I believe the proper American expression is: In which ear?

The mere fact you made that statement, alerts everyone to the fact that the rose smell is nothng more than cheap perfume used to hide the smell of guilt :p


Indeed ... one of the happiest moments in film history
:whistle:

Andy ---> :saint:
Michael ---> :saint:

Speaking of guilt, Scrabble's been eating Pringles all afternoon...

:lmao:

I thought he wasn't eating anything after lunchtime??? He'll spoil his appetite! :p

He's stopped, honest

how does it show that I´m a dispatcher??
I´m organising our cinema evening for tomorrow. And it´s not easy to organize it for 3 crazy women (myself not included lol) with 3 different wishes for time, movie and meet up time before the movie starts!!!! :nuts: :lmao:

i suggest nothing

You get your own mental image :p

Mentality of a woman:

I suggest nothing = I have no suggestions

Mentality of a man = I suggest you go naked...

Yeah...disconnect is staggering...

congrats to all the winners, commiserations to me and the rest of the loosers

Uploading photo's is boring, better since they've let you upload several at once but still boring

songs from the deep forest is ahead of both bat 3 and bat 2 on the amazon rankings lol

in fact, duke really missed a trick with the marketing of the album.. shouldda called it bat outta the deep forest

has meat another album in the pipeline? he must be due another stunning album soon, been 14 odd years since the last, lol

MEN! :bicker::wall::bicker::wall::bicker:

What to do!! :panic:

That a request?????

I think it's more a case of can't live with 'em, can't change a light bulb without 'em :lmao:

Andy King!!! I need to go off on some feminist rant now to prove we can! :lol:

Typical. You assume I was stereotyping :p

Didn't assume - just read!! Though I probably would struggle to change a lightbulb without you in this house!

I rest my case :lmao:

Not seen rain like this in a long time!

Since yesterday you mean?

You kidding?!! Did you not look outside just now?!!

aah, I'm proven wrong then, sorry
RAIN!! I beg for rain!! :pray:
35°C here and not one single cloud. :drool:

You're welcome to ours!

Apparently it was St Swithins day on Sunday, when it rained, so that's the weather sorted for the next 40 days!!

Oh joy! The skirts and shorts can stay packed away then!

that's funny, we have something like that, some day at the end of june, legend is, weather on this day will stay for 7 weeks.

funny how similar yet different these things are

And, of course, Americans have a dumb Groundhog day...duh...

Would you believe, I'm still wearing my winter boots?! I've not worn shorts to work yet this year.

dont you have that weird goofer day, or however its called? The one from the movie with Bill Murray,

That's what I just said...groundhog day...goofer...duh...

ah got it

But at least I've got a new word out of this...

goofer...
