Pytanie #3:
Charles Fort's lights under the sea?
Anybody have any thoughts on the lights that where reported by Victorians while travelling on ocean liners?Pytanie #4:
Is it still possible to travel to europe or somewhere else by boat ?
Ocean liners I gather are a thing of the past now. I wondered if maybe someone could go on a cruise ship and just get off when they got to their destination. I imagine there might be some passport difficulties that way though.I was also wondering if it might be possible to get passage on a commercial vessel like a freightor or something.
Pytanie #5:
Relative Velocity Problem?
An ocean liner is traveling at 36km/h on a bearing of 090 degrees. At 0600 hours the liner, which is 90 km from a lifeboat and on a bearing of 315 degrees from the lifeboat, sends a message for assistance. The lifeboat sets off immediately and travels in a straight line at constant speed, intercepting the liner at 0730 hours. Find the speed at which the lifeboat travels.Pytanie #6:
Help with math problem!?
An ocean liner is sailing across the Atlantic Ocean. Late one night, it strikes an iceberg. The leak created is taking in water at a rate of 3.25 tons every 12 minutes. The ship is 40 miles from land. The captain knows that the ship will sink if it takes in 68 tons of water. The pumps of the ship can throw out 12 tons of water every hour. Unfortunately, with this damage the ship can only travel at a rate of 2.25 miles per hour. The captain radios search-and-rescue personnel that the ship is not likely to make it to shore before it sinks.If the captain is correct, how far from shore will the ship sink?
Show all work please!
Pytanie #7:
Look inside for the truth regarding Santa Claus' disappearance. Fairly Long?
Here's the truth:"After much research, we present the annual aeronautical engineers report on the theory of Santa:
No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer, which only Santa has ever seen.
There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish & Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total -378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes that there's at least one good child in each.
Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with. This is due to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 822.6 visits/second. That is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has .001 second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house.
Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles/household, a total trip of 75.5 million miles; not counting stops to do what most of us do at lease once every 31 hours, plus eating etc. So Santa's sleigh must be moving at 650 miles/second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a pokey 27.4 miles/second. A conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles/hour.
If every one of the 91.8 million homes with good children were to put out a single chocolate chip cookie and an 8 ounce glass of 2% milk, the total calories (needless to say other vitamins and minerals) would be approximately 225 calories (100 for the cookie, give or take, and 125 for the milk, give or take). Multiplying the number of calories per house by the number of homes (225 x 91.8 x 1000000), we get the total number of calories Santa consumes that night, which is 20,655,000,000 calories. To break it down further, 1 pound is equal to 3500 calories. Dividing our total number of calories by the number of calories in a pound (20655000000 / 3500) and we get the number of pounds Santa gains, 5901428.6, which is 2950.7 tons.
The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized Lego set (2 lb.), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300lb. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see #1) can pull 10 TIMES the normal amount, we cannot do the job with 8, or even 9, reindeer. We need 214,200. This increases the payload - not counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. This is four times the weight of the ocean-liner Queen Elizabeth.
353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles/second creates enormous air resistance. This will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as a spacecraft reentering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within .00426 of a second. Meanwhile, Santa, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250 lb. Santa, being very conservative in terms of guessing Santa's weight, would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 lb. of force. If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now"

Lets question unfair immigration over the years?
My great grand parents immigrated from scandanvia, my great grand mother from norway, and my great grand father from sweden...they saved money for a ocean liner trip, got off at ellis island..they were given a check up, and their papers and sent on their way...to all of you people that hate "illegal immigrants"..they are immigrating the same way your decedents did..except for one thing now the rules have become so difficult that it alot of cases it is impossible for someone to legally immigrate to this country..sure if you have 10,000 america dollars and know the right person you can persuade someone to give you a visa.. but in most cases they put you on a list...lol 10-20-30 years to wait..OUR DESCENDANTS ONLY NEEDED MONEY TO TRAVEL AND A DREAM....what makes you think that our descendants were better or more worthy than the people today..WHEN THE IRISH CAME THEY WERE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST..when the jews came , when the Italians came..i can go on and on...they were given all the dirty jobs, like building the railroad and bridges..I look out my window with the knowledge that 3 immigrants are buried in the concrete of the bridge I can see..three worthless irish immigrants that know one cared about.."just keep pouring the concrete"....today it is the mexicans and others who we look at as worthless...but they need so much more than travel money and a dream...Thank god my family immigrated when it did..or i would be looking over MY SHOULDER waiting to be deported, because a dream is no longer enough..Thats all youhave to say..the europeans learned english..lol, my husband came from el salvadore (he is legal)..when he was 13..he mastered english by the time he was 15 and just recieved his American P.H.D in Chemistry..do not lump people into categories..it just shows how black ones heart can get
Mr. true pimp...know one ever said we didnt allow legal immigrants..we do..but may I ask all of the people reading this, how did your family arrive in america..Did they in fact go through ellis island as most did...it was easy for them..the very people that sit in congress today are 4th and 5th generation americans that had relatives just walk through ellis island..wow, it was okay for their families, but for others it is not..you talk about welfare and foodstamps..did you ever stop to think that if people were given the chance to make their american dream come true that they would...oh no, your right mexicans love cleaning vegetables at fruit stand for less than minimum wage, and would never consider getting a better job so they could afford a house and a car...you have got to be kidding me..
krollohare2..well how about this..i live down the block from a public housing project, you have to be a citizen to live in one. I have never seen a bunch of lazier american citizens in all my life..draining the system dry, taking public housing, welfare, food stamps, wic..and the like...lol, the mexicans that get up in the morning to wash toilets have more respect from me than these people..If the system is being drained dry it is not from immigrants it is FROM LAZY AMERICANS..the kind that when their rent goes up they just make another baby to get more welfare to pay the difference.. god help this country if we allow this to continue, but punish those who come and work like dogs at any job they can find..
To. I am gonna start a riot....
you seem to only see things you want t see....I never said all americans do is watch the mailbox..many are very hardworking..myself included..i work all day and go to college at night...that is not the point..the point is that people do not like todaysimmigrants because they are spanish speaking....but trust me..my hubby speaks english better than most americans..he has to he grades their college chemistry papers..and yes I have a problem with the segment of the american population that is lazy...see, my immigrant husband is paying taxes..and his taxes are paying for the housing of lazy americans..If my husband could come to this country at 13 not speaking a word of english, and managed to get his P.H.D in chemistry..then why do any born americans whine, whimper and expect hand outs..you are barking up the wrong tree if you think it is my husband that is the enemy of the american economy..it is not..
Pytanie #20:
Do you think this is history repeating itself?
These days a number of very rich people travel to the ISS for a holiday in space. They spent about US$25 million per trip.Do you think this is history repeating itself?
For example, back in the old days when airplanes were still in their infancy, flying was a novelty. Not many people had the privilege to fly, let alone travel overseas. So those who flew were usually very rich. It was only later on when people become more affluent that flying and travelling become commonplace.
Likewise, even still earlier, travelling by ships to long distances were also a novelty and not many people had the privilege to sail the oceans in a liner. It was also later when people become more affluent and flying become more common that it was no longer a novelty.
Do you think one day people will also become more affluent so that travelling into space is no longer a novelty but something commonplace and part of daily life?
Pytanie #21:
How does this sound to you?
Okay this was origionally some homework i did for English class, but it kinda morphed into a mini project when the teacher basicly licked my shoes (metaphoricaly speaking) and grovelled at my brilliance today in class. Its about the Titanic, sorry if its kinda long:We had boarded the great ship, the ‘Titanic’ at around eight of the clock in the evening on Wednesday the tenth of April. The sun almost completely dipped beneath the watery horizon, a warped oval in the sea that glistened like a ruby looking-glass. Mother urged me to hold onto my hat, insistent that if I let go for even a minute, the Atlantic air would blow it right off my head and into the sea!
I gripped the edges of the little boat in my gloved hands. What a fine feeling it was, to be back on the sea at last! Many a woman never crosses it, or even looks upon its majestic beauty. It is a great velvet curtain that ripples in the wind and laps on the sandy shores of our beautiful French coast, maybe having travelled from a far away, exciting land where the sun shines bright, happy as it does on our homeland. Tiny waves caressed the sides of the boat, washing it with such harmless care.
“Blanche, careful you do not fall in now,” he warned in his rich, dark voice. He only put half his heart into it, while he stared into Mother’s eyes. Her head was outlined against the sunset, a bloody halo in a gruesome portrait where the only angel was Mother’s perfect face. Her blonde ringlets twisted like tiny bleached vines next to her pale face, lips like roses above her dainty chin and pretty nose, dusted with a few warm freckles. Her eyes were almost a whole new part of her face, they were so gorgeous. Deep pools of emeralds rose up above her cheekbones and rested under curving eyelashes, flecks of gold rimming coal-black centre. Apparently I look much like Mother, though I see little resemblance myself.
Before us, the ship loomed up above. Lights blared like tiny beacons through the perfectly circular portholes, and four massive chimneys belched smoke into the sunset. I did not gasp, like so many others did, it was merely another passenger liner to take us all to New York. What should be so special about this one? I had been told it was the biggest ship constructed by human hands. A strange image appeared in my mind of tiny men, flies in comparison to the huge bulk of the ‘Titanic’, darting between the bow and the stern, streaks of colour in their wake. Its ungainly, hulking form almost spoiled the beautiful ocean around it.
Our little boat was hauled up from the sea on huge ropes, thick as snakes. Dusk had set in, and we were the first boat to come up. It must have been quite a hassle to fetch the others from the water. Mother, Father and I stood in a small huddle near the wooden deckchairs. A uniformed steward came over to show us to our rooms.
“This way, please sir,” he said in a crisp English accent, and beckoned for us to follow. “Your luggage should have already arrived in your rooms.”
Inside, the smell of paint was acrid. Cigarette smoke tinted the air with a tangy dullness. Salt stung my unaccustomed nose. We were lead down a crisp white passageway, moderately unimpressive, to a lower deck. On the way, I was informed that I would stay in a separate room to my parents, but with a door leading to their room should anything unfortunate happen. I realized we must be in a staff corridor, a quicker route to the rooms. The steward pushed open a door and held it for us. Before us lay the Grand Staircase. Its polished wood was a sheet of glass that could not be seen through, and its great glass dome was like a bubble streaked with gold, stars shining through the inky night sky. Intricate carvings separated the glistening banisters from the stairs, carved cherubs waited in welcoming stillness at the foot of the stairway.
We walked through a rabbit’s warren of polished passages, past delicate doors and over resplendent rugs. It was much like our house in France. At last, we came to our room doors. Our baggage was already sitting neatly in the corner, unpacked by the hired maids and hung up in the wardrobes.
*
The next evening, Father deemed it appropriate that we should dine with the other First Class passengers. I wore an elegant dress of blue silk, the precise shade of the night sky on the tenth of April. The sleeves came to just below my elbows, and Mother insisted I wear gloves, a tiny pair of lacy little things that snagged on my nails. A maid pinned my hair up, it being as brown and as thick as a chestnut, and pinned my hat on over the top. It was truly an amazing hat, deep blue with an indigo feather fastened to the brim.
Father wore his best suit, and Mother her favourite dress. We made our way to the Café Parisien. The walls were latticed wood painted in snowy white, all around the room tables and chairs lurked like waiting predators. Windows displayed the outside ocean like fine art. The plates

Did someone predict the Titanic would sink?
In 1898, 14 years before the Titanic made her maiden voyage, Morgan Robertson published a novel entitled, FUTILITY: The Wreck of the Titan. This was the story of an "unsinkable" massive ocean liner, which like the Titanic, was crossing the Atlantic Ocean (in the Novel, the Titan was traveling from America to England) in April, with 3,000 people on board. The Titan, trying to cross the ocean in record time, struck an iceberg around midnight and sank. In the novel, most passenger died, (13 survived) because of a lack of lifeboats (www.middletownbiblechurch.org).Pytanie #24:

Pytanie #34:
the government always lies...can they tell the truth for once?
In the beginning of world war one… the united states enter the war do to the sinking of the Lusitania. The Lusitania was a British luxury ocean liner traveling from the United States to Great Britain. The waters surrounding Britain was covered with German Subs trying to starve the country inside out. They warned the US that any ship entering of leaving the oceans of Britain will be destroyed... but yet we still knowing what would happen... During world war two. The world and all the elite powers were at war with Germany and Japan. The United States Claimed to be neutral. Yet Franklin D. Roosevelt moved all the ships based in San Diego and moved them to Pearl Harbor. The Jap’s then attacked us and the United States entered the war. Why would he do that... Now let’s take recent events into consideration. On September 11, 2001 the world trade center was attacked. Thousands died that fateful day. The government said that the Middle East did it. I’m not saying al Qaeda is good. Hell no those fuckers are evil. But they weren’t the ones that crashed the plains. We went into war with them based on a video of Osama bin laden admitting to the claims. But what the government didn’t show was that the man in the video was a man that had different bone structure, tone and writing with his left had, when Osama is a righty. the words don’t have to be spoken to get the message across. The government lies all the time for their own benefits.What benefits are we talking about...
war creates money for baker because the U.S.A and every other nation borrows money from them... the government get more power in places they wouldn't...
its called problem, solution and effect..
the cause a problem for the people can fell not safe.. then they make a solution that envoles taking away rights and starts wars for the benieft of the governmen not the people and the effect is that the people get fucked and the government just laughs...

As oil becomes more scarce, will ocean liners again become a major mode of international transport?
I can't see an alternative aviation fuel, so will shipping again become a major way of travelling?That oil will be exhausted one day is beyond dispute. And you don't need fossil fuels to fuel a ship. You can do it with wood, for example. Obviously the 2 week package holiday would be extinct, but people used ships long before holidays abroad became popular, eg for business trips, visiting family, emigration etc.
