JESUS WAS A LIZARD

[*Magick* Mage]

He walked on water. They can run on water. Very different things. :/

Well He's God. He changed his molecular structure so he would float.


At least that's what I've heard.  
And if anyone understood my reference before,

Some lizards have the ability to run on water for a short period of time

Huehue

I won't feel old. :c

New olympic sport?
That was awesome at the end.

I find this kind of funny. Not the video. This video was posted on another website I frequent with intelligent and quality posters. The general consensus there was that this was fake and anyone who believes it is a handicap. After seeing the posts in this topic I can definitely believe that.

Happy?

This is like love to my eyes and ears.  It's as if the old saying you only listen to when you're 4 has come true.  "If you believe it, you can do it."

Yay for physics.  :D

I am so trying this in my pool tomorrow.

Awesome.
Now I feel like a wimp because I ride my snowmobile across water :c

Watch as nike trys to sell special shoes that are overpriced for this "sport"

I believe it works. Due to the polar bonding of water molecules, water molecules attract each other. This is why if you bring two drops of water near each other they will immediately combine. This creates a skin on top of the water called Surface Tension. Many bugs and insects use this to climb across water. If a human was able to skim in such a manner that surface tension would support them for a short amount of time, one might be able to take two or three steps before falling. However, since they would slow down drastically during the run, time with foot on water would be increased, not to mention the water would be disturbed from the other steps.

You need a non-Newtonian fluid like yogurt, it turns solid when objects move through it.

No, just because a fluid is Newtonian doesn't mean it can't be walked upon.

Newtonian.
Meaning surface tension decreases with movement. Dropping a paperclip in watet breaks it so you won't be doing that anytime soon.
