IP Logged Chewdog Newbie     Gender: Posts: 50 Re: Not Wet   « Reply #2 on: Jul 10th, 2003, 4:03pm » Quote Modify Sea level is a measurement of the mean of the highest high tide and he lowest low tide. Just because a man was found 200 feet below sea level doesnt neccesarily mean he was underwater... (if u had said "under the surface of the sea" then that would be a diferent story) Perhaps a fall would account for the death, as wombat suggested...   As for were and how he died, i have no clue.   IP Logged Icarus wu::riddles Moderator Uberpuzzler Boldly going where even angels fear to tread.     Gender: Posts: 4863 Re: Not Wet   « Reply #3 on: Jul 10th, 2003, 5:41pm » Quote Modify I'm guessing dehydration myself. That 200 ft below sea level sounds about right for the bottom of Death Valley. Of course he could have been in the Dead sea region, in which case he could be a terrorism or occupation victim.

IP Logged Regards, ≈Roy42 cchris Senior Riddler     Posts: 470 Re: Not Wet   « Reply #8 on: Oct 5th, 2006, 5:53am » Quote Modify Hypothermia would be because of usually cold temperatures, most of the time, and as far as I know at 200 feet below sea level, it wouldn't be too cold. In fact, that's usually at a point at least a few hundred feet higher. IP Logged Initiate: My wife ate two hamburgers, initiate a bag of potato chips.
