So, you now learned that human behaviour is often silly when observed without context

Because it is a word, or it's easier to say, or funnier.

It's definitely not the only case. NATO comes to mind, or GOAT, NIMBY. Yesterday I heard someone say (in a tv series episode) 'fudney' for FDNY

What it 'actually' is does not matter.

It's ICE, as in: cold as

Good question. So, perform an experiment: put an ice cube without air bubbles in a glass containing a mixture of ice and cold water. The temperature should become 0°C (just before it freezes), measure it.

Your hypothesis: ice is heavier than water, so it will sink

Execute the test several times, preferably 10 times or more. More is better.

Please share your experiment results. Interesting data to know for each test would include:

• sequence number of the test
• temperature of the mixture before and after you put the ice cube in
• method of ice cube creation
• volume of the ice cube
• volume of water/ice mixture
• depth of the water/ice mixture (should be > size of the ice cube)
• type of water used (tap, bottled, ...)
• did the ice cube sink
• if no, what volume of the cube remained above the surface level

please also share your conclusion.

Psst, are you sleeping?

It was not that long ago when Android changed my on screen keyboard to a different layout whenever I was in a different country. Really annoying - I don't suddenly type in Danish when I'm on a business trip to Lyngby (near Copenhagen)
