A boat cruises alongside you, and tows it.

Cages come in many sizes.

Even though the force of gravity would decrease, it would still be quite significant. Remember that there is still gravity in space (actually every single particle in the universe exerts a gravitational force on every other particle in the universe . . . ) but objects have an apparent weightlessness due to being in freefall.

If there wasn't gravity in space . . . how would the moon orbit the Earth?

Yes there is gravity in space, and gravity would still affect the person, but it wouldn't bear near as much on that person. as Thorin put 1/16 the gravity would be expierenced.

PS thanks for the math Thorin

She looked up "New York to Paris" on Google Maps a while back and took it literally. (have they fixed that yet?)

No CPH, they have not, any over the ocean map gives you directions to swim

Maybe those routes are for all the people with cars that transform into submarines.

...Oh, crap. Disregard that.

Disregard what I said. They did fix it

It was fun to tell people how to get to France, and have something to back me up

Brace yourselves, folks: It was all a big hoax. She only swam about 250 miles.

If thats true, which wouldnt suprise me, I'm suprised it took so long to come out.

Well, that explains how someone could swim the Atlantic.

Still doesn't explain "why."
