OK not to derail Cherrys diary thread anymore but this is funny watching people trying to pronouce simple Dutch words or make sense of them..
I have to admit when I first moved here everything looked as if they just took a bunch of letters and threw them on the page without any sense at all..
During a museum tour, the guide explains, "Here you can see the beautiful statue of Athena ..." "Excuse me, madam," an old man interjects. "Who is that man behind her? Is he her husband?" "No, Athena wasn't married," said the tour guide. "She was the goddess of wisdom."
The peel is much less dense than the fruit and it has a large surface area proportional to it's volume so when added to the "fruit meat" it provides just enough buoyancy to stay afloat.
The fruit without the peel in denser than water so it can't float. That said, we have all had those oranges that are super dry sometimes, assuming you could peel one of these without it coming part there is a chance it might float.

Yes. I did work that out, but I am surprised that the cellulose weighs more than water...

With security cameras it amuses me somewhat that these life cop shows on TV show how they catch murderers with very poor video yet people are forced to publish their clear shots on social media as the police say they are unuseable. It seems like they are picking and choosing what to investigate.
