Re: What do you call 10 englishmen on the bottom of the sea?
I'm not worried, I live on a hill.
Still, I'd like clarification on the joke also, is it somewhat beneficial to have Englishman on the bottom of the sea?

What do you call an Englishman stuck in a drain?
A mortician.

I actually found it funny. But I'm sure there'd be perks to having Englishmen in the bottom of the sea, too.

Frankly, the whole attempt at a joke makes no sense. Where does the number 10 come from, because whilst people have been killed, I can't find a single reference on news searches to 10 being a relevent number. Where does the "bottom of the sea" aspect come from? Unless there's a submarine disaster we haven't heard of, people who drown in floods pretty much in all cases do not end up at the bottom of the sea - hell, people who drown at sea don't end up at the bottom of the sea.
Nothing about this makes sense at all.

Re: What do you call 10 englishmen on the bottom of the sea?
So do people just stop sinking after a while and float to the top?

Not as far as I've heard; there was one who fell into a river when walking home from school, but I may be wrong.

So's 1000, when trying to make topical "edgy" humour, it helps to actually have things that relate to what you're trying to joke about. If people have to guess what the joke is about whilst being perfectly aware of its intended target you've really failed as a comedian.

People naturally float fairly well; they're much more likely to be carried around by currents than to actually sink.

Not really.
When people drown they sink, until gasses makes them float back up.

Re: What do you call 10 englishmen on the bottom of the sea?
A joke that doesn't makes sense. How peculiar.
Maybe you guys should visit the bottom of the sea to search for clues.

The fat guy floated more.
But you really can't trust Brainiac "science"

I'd use a .doc, or at least a rich text file. You lose too much formatting with the .txt format (as it were).

Re: What do you call 10 englishmen on the bottom of the sea?
the problem with the current word processor paradigm is that it combines content with layout. this is a natural urge on behalf of the users, but it's not particularly efficient for horn's 800 page masterpiece on the complex interplay of various cultural factors and early 21st century internet posting on the eve of dante's universe-galvanising epiphany.

Since half of Central Texas is underwater right now, maybe they should do a repeat test.
It's not like they'd have to search too hard for a couple of fatties to test with.
