Last night I mixed a drink in a tall glass with lots of ice. I left it
sit too long and the ice melted but the glass did NOT overflow. In fact
the liquid level was the same!
What's wrong here? (besides ruining a perfectly good drink)
Thanks

The Global Warming Crisis (tm) is not a matter of science, but of faith.



Actually, the gradual rise in sea level exactly matches the rise in
the number of boats on the sea! (If you don't believe that just ask me!)
Therefore, all you sailors are direct contributors and should be ashamed!
