Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

I love how you ended with the Sailor Moon Saturn...  :mittens:
Time.... this intangible field we live within.  This thing with no face, but that of moving hands and shuffling numbers.  We don't own it, it owns us.  We're like it's pets, like hamsters in a hamster wheel, running... running... running... The only rest we get is sleep, but then that is interrupted too... by alarms... on clocks... that tell TIME!

A CUP OF TEA
Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.
Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.
The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

Did you know if you could find a lake big enough, that Saturn would float?

You probably did, but I'm telling you anyway.

Saturn has so many fucking moons it's gonna be Rhea hard to continue to make puns. It's like opening Pandora's Box across the Atlas.

wouldn't all the water fall to saturnus because of gravity or something?

or maybe if it's a big ball of helium, the water causes gravity and the helium and the rings and everything would just fall towards the water and sort of fall apart, destroying that pretty planet.

and then, there's the thing about keeping the water at a temperature where it's liquid, or saturn would just crash into pieces on the ice, because it's cold in outer space.

so you'd need a really humongous blob of water, circling around a sun, and then sort of push saturn into it, and hope it doesn't break.

no offense, but that sounds like the most retarded idea ever.

Maybe I should've just said it's density is less than that of water's.

It's the same with most of the gas giants anyway I think. They're essentially compounds of some of the lightest elemental gases including helium, methane, and hydrogen. The core is fucking liquid rock simply because of the pressure FROM the gas. It's insane really.

They certainly less dense then the rocky planets but in the Solar System Saturn is the only one who's density is below that of water.  Jupiter gets close but is just a bit over. 

Jupiter's density is 1300 kg/m3 compared to water which is 1000.  http://zebu.uoregon.edu/~soper/Jovian/jupiterdensity.html

So it's sheer size apparently compresses things near the center thus giving it a density a bit higher than that of water.  So I'm thinking if it were more Saturn's size it probably would end up being less.

And the density of Uranus and Neptune are screwed because of freezing I assume, even though they are smaller in size than Saturn.
