Maybe this should be in the posts that stand alone but here's a good on from the 'smart' and well edjumencated DUmmies.
About that BP oil well (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=8473539&mesg_id=8474496)

19. Interesting.
I thought the water temp down there was just below freezing, like 34 degrees F.
I sure never made it to physics. Math threw me for a loop, and still does. I have no affinity for it whatsoever. It makes me nuts. :crazy:

Next time you see a thread where the world's brightest decry their miserable state in the world of employment think about posts like this ( from a different thread but this is as good a place as any to put it).

53. Any chance of the saw ingniting the oil?
Inquiring minds want to know.......

59. Besides the extremely cold water, there is no oxygen down there
So no.

Ok thanks all, I just wondered.
Science was not my strong suit.
These are the best and brightest BA's and Masters of Ed they walk among us and teach our young. Worst part about it they are too stooopid to be embarassed.

Oh com'n, give it a try. Science is not the strong suit of manbearpig or the "scientists" at the East Anglia Climate Research Unit, but that didn't stop them.

Hey, DUmbass! Water freezes at 32 degrees F..... :thatsright:
I can see how it is easy for you to confuse your IQ with the freezing point of water.... :loser:

Salt water can stay liquid down to 28°. :p

Cut me a little slack....

It's one of those semi-useful facts they teach you in culinary school. Works pretty well in a beer cooler, too. I think it's a cup of salt to a gallon of water. Add lots of ice.

179. Fair enough, however, boring is a very subjective term.
Cannabis is endlessly fascinating to me. After I got done with serious touring, I spent 15 years in Southern Humboldt County, in the heart of the "Emerald Triangle", doing amazing Cannabis cross breeding and running from ****ing helicopters. Definitely not boring.

I see... (http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff68/kayaktn/smileys/emot-stoner.gif)
"Cannabis" stopped being fascinating when I noticed that after smoking it all day, all it gave me was a headache.

Hey DUmbass! Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That would be 0 degrees Celsius, which is the same number as your IQ. :loser:

Ever notice how similar WG is to GW ?
I know I have...... :-)

Umm....salt water at high pressure isn't going to turn into ice cubes at 32* f, btw.

I'll have to remember that...If they ever let me drink beer again

It works on Coca Cola, too.

I should have known that salt water freezes at a lower temperature....
It's how home-made ice cream is done. Put the ingredients in the churn, fill the tub full of ice and rock salt, and crank until done (or plug it in, for the lazy among us)....

Must have been that tricky equation that threw him. c= 5/9(F-32)
One of the first things you did after getting "Hello World" on a screen in many Basic courses was to program a Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion application. ( or COBOL or Fortran for that matter ). Oh wait, dummies are just computer users not programers. My bad.

There will be more computer "users" over there, when the Japanese perfect that female "robot."

Water freezes at a setting of "4" and boils at slightly above "simmer".
A fridge to cool beer bought with foodstamps and a stove to cook off meth.... what else does a DUmmie need to know about tempertures.

The pressure is such at a mile down that water will never freeze, salted or fresh, don't matter!

Agreed, and it never will - because it can't. Water is peculiar when it comes to changing states from liquid to solid - it expands. If there is enough pressure to keep the water from expanding, it will not freeze under any circumstance. -- well, until you get to absolute zero.. but thats another story.

I thought that at absolute zero atoms fall apart and turns to a very fine dust?
....but then, when I was taught that, they were saying we were going into another ice age and we were all going to freeze to death....are we there yet?....are we there yet....are we there yet.

We'll never really know, it's not possible to actually get there, anytime before the final heat death of the entire universe, anyway.

Actually, absolute zero is the temperature at which all atomic and subatomic motion ceases.......theoretically at least, instead of collapsing into dust (even dust being matter) , matter at that temperature would (also theoretically) be reabsorbed by the "quantum foam", i.e., residue left over from the interdimensional cataclysm of the formation of the universe.
To an observer, it would simply vanish.......

TVDOC has what is expected to be the right answer to this. Granted, we will never know, as we would cease to be at absolute zero with everything else, so its more of a thought experiment than anything.

Actually, it will, it's just that the temperature at that depth stays pretty constant (around 35-38 degrees F).
Funny the things you'll find out when you work with the DSRV boys.
