Now if you take a glass of water and add 2 cubes of ice, you should see the cups water level slightly rise. Now check it out.... if you remove every living animal out of the sea, then woulnd't the world water level decrease... Just imagine taking everything out whales.. sharks etc etc... not only living things but pherhaps sucken citys "IF" any exist or sunken boats etc etc........
This would mean that planet really isn't 3 quaters water.

No. The planet is 3/4 covered with water. The vast majority of the planet is rock or the mantle core. Just a pure guess but I'd say the earth's mass is comprised of 5-10% water.

The surface area of the earth is about 70% water, with a total mass of 1,409 million billion metric tons. In comparison with this, the mass of all life forms in the ocean is negligible. By comparison with the total mass of the earth (5.97 billion trillion metric tons), the mass of the ocean is negligible.

It isn't the volume that is 3/4s water, but the surface area. I'm not sure what your example was proving, except not to mix acid with animal tranquilizers.

man, you're really reaching here. removing everything as you say would not make near the difference you think it would.
