Neutral buoyancy
March 13, 2010 at 3:46 pm
When I get bored I like to weigh a helium balloon down so that the force of gravity exactly matches the balloons tendency to go up. Then it spends the next few weeks floating around the house like a weird alien pet.

I don't know what's weirder...the balloon or the bottle of Heinz Tomato Sauce that apparently resides next to your computer.

Or a refrigerator.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I agree with leo you've got way to much time on your hands
how the hell you manage to float such a balloon for days
without some form of life wanting to burst it is beyond me
To look is not to see,
to see is looked on in thy soul.

It's currently getting on my nerves as it floats in front of the t.v.

Anyway, I'm thinking of marketing it as a floating pet before all the Earths helium reserves run out.

Now it's on my head :S
