Guess which historical figures I admire?

Plato?

Too old.

Michelangelo.

Just right! An artist whose style I continue to appreciate.

On average, the Atlantic Ocean is the saltiest of Earth's major oceans. [Source]

posted 54 days ago4 

Salty - even for an ocean.

The more salt, the better things float!

So the Atlantic is also the floatiest ocean?

I don't think that's a real word.

Still getting the hang of this thing!

posted 61 days ago3 

It's easy. Just float. 

Here's a tip, bro: stay low and then fire up when you need to. 

I see. I will master this soon enough.

Where could GILBERT have gone to? Can you hear me GILBERT?

It's our duty to find him!

Right on!

Let's go!

The Blue Whale is the biggest animal in the world. 

posted 97 days ago4 

Why are they so big?

Cool.

Big oceans need big whales in them. Maybe from eating so many little fish?

I'll buy that.
