There is an Iron-Wood-Tree which can be found on the Maluku Islands and it's wood doesn't float on the water but sinks because it is so heavy  ------------- "We've got to get in to get out" |

Some Amazonian woods have specific gravity greater than water and do not float! Probably other species elsewhere have the same characteristics.  ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

depends,
if the warmer water is 4 degrees celcius and the cooler water is 3 degrees celcius you might find other results  ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

this is what makes objects float, or sink in water. note that a duck has a good balance and is lighter than air (it can also fly), Whitches have wooden broomsticks, which supports them in air and eventually also in water (the combination of broom and witch is as heavy as a duck).
Melotrons can float also, provided it is supported by a boat underneath, or played by Klaus Schulze (who probably is a manly witch). ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

I remember one teacher that used to say that everything floats in the northern hemisphere while everything sinks in the southern one.... And she gave me science classes!  I felt sorry for the other kids at that school. -------------
