	All of the banter about Archimedes and floating 100,000
ton ships in a cup of water reminds me of a couple of old favorites:

	1)Why are the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans at different
levels?
	2)Why are there usually two high tides per day?  After
all, the moon is only on one side of the earth.

	I apologize if these are too well known.
