I think it is wierd. We went to a Globe All Comers Swim Meet in Arizona and they do a relay race where you have to push to watermelon across the pool.

It's because their mass is less than 1g/cm (the density of water)or whatever the measurements are. Blueberrys sink, that's weird too.

Yes, I've seen a watermelon game played where the watermelons are greased with vaseline and in the water. Try that one. Hilarious!

Yes. When I was in school, we would take a boat out, cover a watermelon with Crisco, and play water polo. Lots of fun, plus you could eat the watermelon when the game was over. (The water kept it nice and cold.)

yeah, I learned that the hard way. my plane went down over the pacific and the only thing that i found in the water from the plane was a watermelon.there it was just rocking back and forth on the waves. needless to say I clung to that fruit for 18 hours before I was rescued. yeah I've gotten to know them very good and I could never eat one because of that terrifying ordeal.

hey Goofy, the water melon doesn't have as much mass in the center.and when a water melon is ripe inside it actually starts forming a gas,that's why when one has sat in a garden too long,it cracks.

On picnics we used to put them in rivers tied in nets to cool them off.
