(...) I hope it wasn't just one 200 ton bird--that would really roc the boat. I'm also put in mind of the ship that struck an iceberg while carrying a cargo of yo-yos. It sank 158 times. Dave! (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) There's that old story about the seafaring captain whose vessel was maxed out at 100 tonnes for cargo--but he could cary 200 tonnes of birds *if* he could guarantee that at least half of them would be in the air at the same time. Dave K (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

I think I know the answer to this already but I wanted to make sure with the physics masters here. If I have a sealed container with an organism flying around (not resting) inside of it, can I weigh the container and get a mass that includes the (...)

A popunder window you have to actively close (while still ignoring the contents -- sorry, you can't force people to pay attention to things). Don't make me do crap work just for visiting (...)
