I think the bible has some dude walking on water, why don't you cheat and check in there for the answer? 😛
 
I suggest the use of Chakra. Before you try walking on water though, I suggest you practice climbing trees without using your hands first as this will help you learn to control Chakra better. For the tree walking part, you must focus just the right amount of Chakra to your feet so that they will stick to the surface of the tree. Too much and you'll get pushed off. Too little and you'll fall off. After you've mastered that, you can try walking on water using Chakra. The difference will be that when you were climbing trees, you had to emit a steady stream of Chakra. On water, the surface changes, so you'll have to learn to constantly change how much Chakra gets emitted from your feet all the time so you'll stay afloat. It's not an easy task, but if you can find a mentor to help you, the task will be much easier. I suggest either a white haired man with one eye always covered and who's always reading some book called "Come, Come Paradise;" a closet pervert with cool looking specs; or an open pervert who's always hanging around with toads--you might want to check the women's bathing area for him.

Don't get discourage if it takes you a while to succeed. Afterall, it is said that the feet is the hardest place to gather Chakra to. It took that Jesus guy something like 30 years to learn how to control his Chakra well enough to walk on water, so if you're in a hurry, ignore my suggestion and maybe look into some giant boat shaped shoes.

Alright so our chemistry teacher gave us a project in which we have 10 dollars to buy supplies to walk across our highschool pool. We can have items "donated" which basically is stuff lying around the house. What would you all suggest to be the best way to float? Thanks for the help.

I think the trick is to say that your teacher never mentioned the pool has to be filled with water......
 
Buy lots of boxes of out-of-date cereal, I suggest "puffed wheat", or something similar. Pour the entire contents of your boxes into the pool a few minutes before the crossing is scheduled. Profit!!!

lol i was just thinking the same thing. 😛
 
How wide is the pool? You may be able to get some really long two by fours or something from The Home Depot.

My first thought, but they will be > $10

I'm thinking, assuming that it is filled with water, use an old couch, and dump it in, and run across it before it completely sinks


Or just wait for it to freeze.....Liquid N_2_

Yes, if you have even the faith of a mustard seed you can move a mountain, so I'm sure walking on water would be a cakewalk 🙂.

In there lies the answer to all your problems: faith, my friend, faith in Jesus!
 
Or you could chop down a giant tree, get a couple of guys to help you move it to the school and your all set.

Simple, pay the janitor $10 to empty the pool.

But, then you'd be walking "on the pool" according to the nay-sayers who shot down my stilts idea.
