All the Water on Planet Earth

Illustration Credit & Copyright: Jack Cook, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Howard Perlman, USGS

Explanation: How much of planet Earth is made of water? Very little, actually. Although oceans of water cover about 70 percent of Earth's surface, these oceans are shallow compared to the Earth's radius. The above illustration shows what would happen if all of the water on or near the surface of the Earth were bunched up into a ball. The radius of this ball would be only about 700 kilometers, less than half the radius of the Earth's Moon, but slightly larger than Saturn's moon Rhea which, like many moons in our outer Solar System, is mostly water ice. How even this much water came to be on the Earth and whether any significant amount is trapped far beneath Earth's surface remain topics of research.

With all the murders in the world everyday why is this one so "fascinating"

 

Because none of the other murderers in the world can outmatch his phenomenal excretion of facial fluids and pathetic whimpering.

 

HE SHOT AND KILLED ANOTHER HUMAN BEING because HE was drunk, delusional, paranoid, angry, jealous, drugged out, whatever and had lethal weapons at his nuttiness disposal. In the end he murdered an innocent, defenceless, unthreatening person due to his own mental and emotional short-comings. Fuck him and hang him high without remorse like they did in 19th century Arizona. Perhaps an appropriate Arizona "Boot Hill" epitaph could read:  "He might be right, we might be wrong but we hung the fucker anyway."  

 

Please excuse me. That's the mood I'm in tonight.
