:smack: Of course. It’s one of those obscure facts that not many people know. I knew it, in 1960. For 20 minutes.
I’m ashamed to say I’m proud to me here.
I bet that was the best 20 minutes Mariana ever had in 1960.
(Whoops. Didn’t mean to slight the fresh meat - er, newcomers **Sevo ** and The Sonoran Lizard King.
When the hell did I become the welcoming committee, anyway?
Cisco, your sensible question has been drowned out by the general insanity here, but in answer:
When a substance dissolves in a solution, the molecule is broken up. The pieces of the solute filter down into the spaces between the molecules of the solution.
To use a metaphor from High Schoo chemistry, it’s like filling a quart jar with rocks. Yes, it is full, but you could still fill it with sand. Yes, it looks full, but you could still fill it with water (and on and on). The point is that the volume of the jar doesn’t change, just its density- there is always more space between things.

How high was it? And for how long?
Exactly 20 minutes. In 1960.
Guys, I was writing in my journal for 20 minutes and it struck me that I don’t know how long people usually visited Marianas Trench back when my mom was a child. Just once. In 1960.
Can anyone help me with this?
I decided to feed this thread into a babble script I’d written. Here’s the first 100 words:
Not many people know all the Yale prom were laid end to end with all of the Dead Sea. Lutefisk is from the ocean floor before undertaking the 3 hour 15 minute ascent. Is this for real? Oh man, thank you for this link. This is a trench located somewhere in the Marianas Trench? BTW, did you know that only 2 films have been visited. For longer than 20 minutes. Cite. If no one has visited the deepest part of the balloon
was USN Strato-Lab V. It took them approximately 209 hours to set it up, 20 minutes for 100 Yale cheerleaders.
Just wanted to make a contribution in as twisted a way as possible. Babble seemed the best way to do it.
In 1960. The ceremony took twenty minutes and was held in a high schoo in marina’s trench.
I graduated from high schoo in 2004, and commencement took way longer than 20 minutes.
My father went to high schoo with this guy back in 1960. They called him Trench Ass because his butt crack was so long and deep. Once they held him in a locker close to 20 minutes but the principle found out so that was the last time that they did it.
Man has visited the deepest part of the world’s oceans, Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench, just once. In 1960. For 20 minutes.
But what is the saline concentration? And were there Yale co-eds back then. In 1960.
Saline concentration is 1,960 parts per million, but only for 20 minutes at a time.
The Yale coeds were in High Schoo, in 1960. For 20 Minutes.

Dear Penthouse,
I never thought this would happen to me, but in 1960, when I was in High Schoo I was attacked by a gaggle of Yale Co-eds for twenty minutes…
We were in position called The Challenger Deep, which was performed with Mariana’s Trench. I drank margaritas, and we wrestled in a vat of spaghetti sauce for those 20 minutes. It ended with an erotic feast of pretzels under the moonlight.
And how does Spongebob Squarepants fit into all this?
Man has visited the deepest part of the world’s oceans, Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench, just once. In 1960. For 20 minutes.
Are you sure it was a man? It might have been a schoo boy.
