Boy is he gonna be pissed off when he gets back.
Especially when he realises he could have shucked the weights and tried floating up instead--he'd still have made time while he was dead that way.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I seem to recall Connor MacLeod sinking to the bottom and having to walk out, in the first Highlander movie. Maybe the Immies vary in floatyness.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Just watched some Who bloopers Daniel dled. Killer.

Methos founded the Watchers? Where was that established?
I can't name the episode, but I remember Joe confronting him about having started the whole shebang. It was essentially a way to keep tabs on all his potential enemies.

Seems that's contradicted in season 6, Matt.

I got the bloopers a while back off ahem. Most of them are obviously off much-copied VHS tapes, and are Real Media .ram files, plus one .avi file.

If I only had a brain...

After you've actually drowned, I don't think you float until you start decomposing. Lungs full of water.
And I know Methos is hot, but I ain't making time with him while he's dead.

Hmm. Now I want to google. I'm thinking you don't need your lungs full of water to drown, and in fact that'd take a lot of inhaling.
Wikipedia says "Tidal volume (TV) is the amount of air breathed in or out during normal respiration. It is normally from 450 to 500 mL." Then there's "Inspiratory reserve volume similarly, is the additional air that can be inhaled after a normal tidal breath in. About 2.5 more litres can be inhaled."
So you could get 3 litres of water in, which is just more than half the normal adult lung capacity. That would be about 7 pounds which is quite heavy. But let me google more...
More than likely, some amount of water enters the lung in the vast majority of cases, probably in over 90%. However, the amount of water that actually enters the lungs varies considerably and, in the vast majority of cases it is 22ml/kg or less—and in most of those cases substantially less.” (This translates to roughly a tablespoon of water per pound weight of the victim).
My head hurts. I'm not doing the math. Could tip the density.

I assume once a body relaxes in death water could also enter the esophagus, stomach, and slowly saturate through the tissues as well. The lungs alone wouldn't have to account for the bouyancy differential.
