Sunlight can penetrate clean ocean water to a depth of 240' (72.7m) (or 60 fathoms).
Order of Kilopi
Actually, 60 fathoms would be 360'.
A burial at sea requires a minimum depth of six fathoms.

Yes, that is correct. It didn't dawn on me until it was too late to edit that the correct figure was 40 fathoms.Originally Posted by parallaxicality
Thank you. I have no idea where I got "60" from.

I wish I knew all those years ago that simply joining this board and proclaiming myself to be rational would magically transform my uninformed opinions into science; it would have saved me a lot of time and effort.

British emergency room doctors will sometimes employ the alias "T. F. Bundy" to describe an incoming patient. "T. F. Bundy" is in fact an acronym for "Totally F'ed But Unfortunately Not Dead Yet".

In the Universal movies, Frankenstein's first name was Henry, Ludwig or Wolf. The Hammer films correctly named him Victor, although he is called "Baron von", which he was not. Nor was he a doctor; although he did attend medical school, he dropped out before attaining his degree.

Just before the Civil War, camels were introduced into Texas, on the long supply trails to different forts; the camels were faster than horses and mules, carried more weight and traveled further on less food and water: the beginning of the Civil War ended the experiment.

Camels were introduced to Australia in the 19th century. After their period of usefulness was complete, they were turned out into the desert, and expected to die. Instead they thrived and are now the only wild dromedary camels on Earth, and are exported for their high-quality meat and strong genetic stock for race breeding.
