    Can you cry under water?

    Question #86897. Asked by mileykid. (Oct 05 07 4:57 PM)

    		Not for long. You can cry anywhere, but if you're sobbing, you're inhaling. Don't try it.

    I'm not even going to bother to post a reference for this one. One shouldn't be needed.

    		I imagine a submariner or two has shed a tear or two and lived to tell about it. Maybe due to missing his mommy, or just hearing a good story. Why, looky here at this boy's story:

    		Of course one can lachrymate under water but already being wet sort of negates the sensation. NOTHING is different but the tears on the cheek factor.

    And yes drowning would tend to be the outcome of a sob-session!

    		Scuba divers can cry under water, they can sob to.

    Other Similar Questions & Answers


    Can you boil water in boiling water...for example, take a small bottle, fill it with water, and suspend it in the boiling water so it doesn't touch the bottom. If you keep the bottle in the boiling water long enough, will the water inside it come to boil?

    We have an electric hot water heater and electric stove. When boiling a pot of water is it more cost effective to fill the pot with hot water from the tap or cold water?

    What sort of water should you store for emergencies? Doesn't bottled water "go bad"? Is there a way to get water that will last in bottles for years and be safe and good to drink?

    Look for a word that has CRY on the outside and another word inside. The clue contains definitions of the whole word and the word in the middle. (Not necessarily in that order.) Note the R may be the second letter or the second to last letter.
