Redneck Pools will ruin your truck's suspension!

is asphalt really lighter than water?

You guys can go ahead and continue with whatever it is you are going on about.

I'm going to pick up a few 30 packs and load my truck pool with some womenz. 🙂

Hey, when your done go drive around and hit some off-ramps@60 MPH and watch the REAL fun start!..

So the moral of the story is: convert a trailer instead. Besides, if the bed is full of water where do I put all my booze?

Haha perfect

In the girls.

I was actually surprised by this. I simply figured the density of crushed asphalt was higher. Dry sand has a density of about 92 pounds per cubic foot. Bricks, 120 pounds per cubic foot. Portland cement: 94lb/ft3, crushed stone 100lb/ft3. But, their figure seems to be correct - crushed asphalt: 45lb/ft3. http://www.rfcafe.com/references/general/density-building-materials.htm I've never handled crushed asphalt.

BUT, there's a huge pile of crushed asphalt at the end of my road. I've been wondering for a couple weeks what the heck they're going to do with it. Use it to "pave" my road past my house? I dunno. But, I do know I can walk down there with a plastic bag & bucket of water, put big wad of the stuff in the bag, tie it tight so there are no air pockets other than what's between the pieces of asphalt, and see if it floats. I feel a bit skeptical like you, so very likely will try this tomorrow if I have time.

Pretty sure the girls displace some of the water, so adding their weight to the total is kind of stupid. But then again, so is the whole concept, so...

do you know what displaced means?

Assuming that's accurate, maybe it's the oil content that reduces its overall density.

Neutralizes gravity, right? 😀
