I figured the salt water would weigh more b/c it is denser.
Years ago (before industry diluted it) you could float in the Great Salt Lake. There were picture postcards of people just sitting and reading the newspaper w/o a flotation device.
I suppose you could drown in the GSL, but there is absolutely no way to sink in it!
My brain is a sieve. Full of holes. *sigh If I hear something important, it leaks right through. Useless info somehow sticks.
