Oh crap, I never noticed the pun in your reply post. Now I'm green with envy!

It's a fair point, I guess what I meant is it looks like you don't have to be especially athletic or skillful, just persistent.

I would love to give it a go too. Not if I have to shave my head though.

Well I was just being linguistically silly, but you are probably right. People float on their backs in the Dead Sea because it is so full of salt, so I'm sure you could walk on plankton if it was thick enough.

You think a lot of people HAVE tried this already?! I haven't tried it. Have you? Has anyone you know? It's just like half of the stuff in the Guinness Book of Records; come up with some obscure activity, then practice at it till you are the best at something with no practical purpose.

It's not gaming related, it's not…

Which is exactly the point. You wouldn't have read it. Eyeballs = $'s.

True, but I would say that takes more innate skill. I have poor hand eye co-ordination, weedy arms, but I can run short distances (PM me, ladies!)

I have no idea what "oobleck" is but I assume it has the same properties as custard?

I mean, they are still floating. That's all that really matters for the claim that he is "walking on water".

Yup! Almost "journalist" quality now! Almost.

NOW I'm impressed! "...and boy are my legs tired!"

Well I definitely can't practice since 2005. Doesn't seem fair though!

Ahhhh, but dear sir "-ton" is really heavy, so he would sink!!

AHA!

Cryptic reply of the day!

I actually checked this with my GP and You Simply Won't Believe What He Said!

"Get out, I have patients to attend to, you are wasting my valuable time".

...or a critic.

Exactly! "You do it then" is such a cop out. You don't have to be Heston Blumenthal or

3. There is literally no barrier for entry other than not being really heavy.
4. Fucking about in the water isn't changing the world in any meaningful way either.

For my next trick, I will turn water into wine!

...by using it to hydrate grapes so they grow, then letting them ferment in a barrel.

I would totally give it a go. I don't see what "training" you could do for that other than following the advice of people who can do it (small steps) and repeating till you were good at it.

"Your Eyes Won't Believe This Man Can Actually Walk On Planks!!"

No reply? No surprise!
This isn't a reply to you really, but one to people who may stumble on this comment in the future: Just check her (girlwriteswhat) out yourself and make your own judgement!
