That depends on the definition of "use".

Spidee is just trying to take a shot at eightballsidepocket because apparently the debate became to overwhelming in, "Artic Ice Growing".

Gotchya, thanks. It still has nothing to do with current events.Originally Posted by crin63
That being said, I wouldn't use either to measure ice or tides.

It depends on what's available and how important an exact measurement is. If you are gauging the change in the height of tides, the picnic table would be sufficient to let you know within a foot how much the tide has risen. Only a "scientist" would feel a need for an exact number so that they could record it in a little book to back up an article they might write in an effort to get Federal welfare check...... err...... I mean grant.
No matter where I've traveled or how great the trip was, it's always wonderful to return to my country, The United States of America......... me

Mundame claims he can use it to measure to within an accuracy of one INCH.

Apparently the picnic tables are one inch tall.

You're welcome to not use the fruits of publicly funded science if you don't trust it. So please stop using this computer and don't go see any more doctors, OK? No more cell phones either, they use satellites which rely on science to stay in orbit. Now go attend your Flat Earth Society meeting.
