You are now no smarter than you were before you read this. However, you curiously read it anyway despite it's warning of a title. Remember this useless information, though. It can become useful if used the right way. For example, suppose some ugly jerk approaches you with a revolting pickup line. Properly rattling off these little known facts combined with convincing facial expressions can convince any pick-up artist that you're mentally unbalanced and no longer worthy of their pick-up attempts. Just don't mention the one about the female ferret dying in heat without a mate. That may, in fact, be encouraging.

You are silly. But are you trying to freak me out??!! You better follow Lyric wherever he goes in that hospital if anywhere. I'd really rather him stay in the room at all times. Don't want him going home with the wrong parents or anything. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Way to freak me out Levi!
If you're sinking in quick sand meaning your feet are sinking first. How are you going to get on your back and raise your feet if your feet were what was sinking to begin with?
Get back with me on this please. :)
Great question! Contrary to Hollywood's rendition of the effects of it, quicksand is very thick with a consistency not unlike oatmeal after having sat out overnight. Not that I've personally experienced quicksand or leaving out food overnight or anything, but I have read about it for at one time or another my curiosity got the best of me and forced me to look it up. Generally, the way that people get stuck is that they initially sink to about their knees and then the sinking slows. The more that the impending victim raises one foot at a time to attempt to step out of it the other foot sinks more. See, quicksand is very dense and a person can only sink into it if they concentrate a lot of their weight into one small area (i.e. standing on one foot). But, if the person will lay back into the muck before they sink past the waist level then they will have their weight spread out over too large an area to sink any further. They can then slowly raise their legs out and proceed to roll themselves back onto solid ground. It's the same thing as when some show-off lays on a bed of nails. He weighs 150 pounds and is laying on about 600 nails. That means that there is only about 1/4 p.s.i. (pounds per square inch) which is not nearly enough force for a nail to pierce human flesh. This is why you don't ever see guys attempting to lay on a bed of 10 nails.
Thank you oh wise one
If I'm ever in quick sand I will surely remember the stop drop and roll method
just 1 more week to go!!!
