ok some on please tell me in plain english how do planes stay up!! thank you

[almostanangel]

dh did try blees him but it just goes over my head so pretend im 4 and explain why does an apple hit the floor if you drop it but a plane stays up!!

it's magic I tell you, magic

why doesn't anyone listen to me ?

if a sailor sails and a soldier fights whats a fighting sailor called?

a marine?

awww twig, i hear you

marines are in the ...marines so whats the navy then?

Aren't the marines a subset of the navy?

Or the navy is a dark shade of blue?

all the nice girls...love a sailor

dum de dum dee dum dee dum

corrr, soupy.

You're like, really clever, ain't ya?

I've got another question but it's so baffling I can't even think of how to explain it. I am a dimwit!

are the marines like amphibian soldiers they fight on land or sea - they're not right fussy. nut the navy will only fight with big guns on big ships and shall never set foot ashore ( cept for a happymeal)

like the air force will only go in the air but are there some peole of the military persuation who will go in the air land and sea?

try using the words

'thingamajig'
'whatchamacallit'
and
'whosit'

that might help

Here you go, Custy

ok, when you say it all about the weight of the water keeping the ship up right what if the ship was docking or somehing and the sea bed was un-even underneath it (derrrr wouldn't be above it now would it!!) so theres more water on one side then ther is the other.

How would that work as the water weight wouldn't be even, would it?

Ok I realise it would have to be a really big ship, a very uneven sea bed and not a great deal of water but would it fall over then?

"The Royal Marines are the UK?s ?go anywhere? amphibious forces"

and to prove how dim I am I've left in several typos and missed out lots of puncuation just for your amusement.

I suspect it kind of balances out because the ocean is huuuuuuuuuuuge. Same way as it's difficult to float in a bathtub because it's too small.

And if the seabed is uneven above the ship, then you've probably tried to land one too many planes on it.

Hmmmmm, yes.

i wish i had a brain.

I have a question too

I'm not sure how to phrase it

oh hang on a tic, I'll give it a go

why on earth do you care?

Because it's good to have an enquiring mind. It stops one becoming stagnant like, say a marmite flavoured stick.

snurk

lol twig! it all came down to the sea being very big after all. i love it

why when people tip cows over can they not get back up?

And the RAF also have a dedicated regiment of peolpe who's job it is to defent air bases and the air craft, called the RAF regiment....AKA Rock Apes to the rest of the RAF.

The RAF also call navy personel, Fish Heads and the Army, Pongos. Anyone in the RAF who doesn't fly in a plane is called a Blunty....because they are not at the 'sharp end'. Oh the laughs we have!

Dh does look rather good in his uniform though!

stultified mind huh? have I? have I?

well here's some questions for that big ol' dragon head of yours

Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin?

Why isnt there a special name for the tops of your feet?

Why isn't there mouse flavoured cat food?

Why does eating curry make your nose run?

Why are they called stairs inside, but steps outside?

Why does mineral water that 'has trickled through mountains for centuries' have a 'use by' date?

Oy! Are you calling my big brother a blunty??
