Did you know that watermelons float?!


Question:

Did you know that watermelons float?

I think it is wierd. We went to a Globe All Comers Swim Meet in Arizona and they do a relay race where you have to push to watermelon across the pool.


Answers:
It's because their mass is less than 1g/cm (the density of water)or whatever the measurements are. Blueberrys sink, that's weird too.

no thats interesting

They have air inside them.

haha!!!!!!!!!!

Okay then. O__o

What do you expect?
