Hey, perhaps we only exist within PI. Hmmm.... Stephen used to claim to know PI to 100 decimal places. That's all. |

| Thomas King 2002-08-10 18:20:49 | ErEERr a pair of DUCKS. How odd. They're facing the same way as your odd goose. I noticed today that due to some odd law of goose-floating, floating geese all seem to face the same way. Honk, honk. |
| Stephen Brooks 2002-08-10 19:13:17 | Except the ducks that always sit like this: The geese are very purposeful so they tend to face the same direction.

| Thomas King 2002-08-11 00:53:18 | Errr tripoint ducks. They're all odd and totally unlike icebergs. With icebergs, only less than a third of thier mass is above the water, but with ducks less than a third is in the water. Someone ought to alter the density of water so that the ducks sink just so that thier heads stick out. |
| Stephen Brooks 2002-08-11 08:40:05 | Errr it's not like that at all. All you have to do is raise the level of the water so that it comes up to about 8cm above the height at which the ducks swim. Then you just get ducks' heads. On a very dry summer you often see the ducks levitating above the river because it has fallen about 20cm due to evaporation.
