Not many people know that…a thick salt crust over the earth would tend to keep it nice and juicy inside. Brining is a time-honored cooking practice. When the sun finally turns to a supernova, a salt crust will be perfect for the subsequent earth-roast. Now the question is: where would someone obtain enough salt to perform this feat?
salty yale girls lie
in the marianas trench
for twenty minutes
Sig line!
I’ll probably only use it for a little while, though. Does anyone have a suggestion for how long?
if the salt were taken out of the oceans, would that affect global warming/not warming…after all…during the winter, salt on the sidewalks makes ice melt…wouldn’t that effect glaciers and the polar ice caps?

Hey, we like the moon. Cause it is good to us. Cite.
You beat me to the Pun.ch, TD. When I first read about the Marianas Trench, I pictured it full of spaghetti sauce. I even thought it might have something to do with the Red Sea, but only for about 20 min, in 1960.
When those fellows were ready to come back, did they call for a 1960’s style Depth Raise?

I’m not surprised that either one of you thought of the ocean’s deepest spot as being filled with spaghetti. That’s how it got its name - The Marinara’s Trench.
Man has visited the deepest part of the world’s oceans, Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench, just once. In 1960. For 20 minutes.
Let me be your salty dog
Or I won’t be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog
WOOF WOOF!!!
I hate to sully such a silly thread with facts, but I found this site:
Marianas Islands | encyclopedia article by TheFreeDictionary
That suggests the trench is named for the nearby Island chain, the northernmost part of Micronesia, Which in turn was named in the 17th century for an Austrian Queen of Spanish decent.
Magellean died there, much earlier, he called it the Island of Thieves.
So your are saying that Magellan visited the trench in the 17th century? How did he get down there and was it one time or more than that? Did the people in 1960 realize that they were just wasting their time?
Did it have Yale co-eds ?
Since the Spanish word for “thief” is ladrón, Ladrone is obviously the Portuguese cognate. Incidentally, the ó character above was copied from this handy site. The page was compiled by our own wolf_meister. Not many people know that.
Before the Portuguese cognates, there were the Pre-Cogs. Who predicted the crime before it happened and had the person arrested before he did it. This was after 1960, and had nothing to do with spagetti.
>Which in turn was named in the 17th century for an Austrian Queen of Spanish descent.
But when and where was that descent? And for how long? What did she find?
With an audience of Yale co-eds, she descended into Mariana’s trench, finding enough salt to cover the moon. She stayed down on Mariana for twenty minutes, until 1960.
As I posted in another thread…
What I want to know is, if you took all the salt from the moon and piled it at the bottom of the Marianas Trench, how many multiples of twenty minutes would the cheerleaders need to cook the resulting soup for, in order to properly pickle the calamari and win the Yale Challenge?

Thanks Sternvogel. I wrote that webpage in 1960. It took me 20 minutes.
The man has visited the deeper part of the oceans of the world, challenging in depth in the trench of the marianas, hardly once. In 1960. For 20 minuteren.
