Why is the sea so salty? No, not just because of salt. Well there is this legend that whales release 360 gallons or so of sperm, but only 10% goes into the mate. The rest goes into the sea. Sperm can be salty (Of course I only heard this from someone). It could be very well true...or not. Its really up to you to decide. But to be on the safe side, don't drink sea water (as if you want to). I remember hearing this from somewhere, so I thought I'd share it with others.

Hmm... if there was that much sperm in the sea, scientists would know with tests, or...well, even if you look at the water you'd see it.

are you saying there are sperms in the sea???

Makes you wonder about 'that' salty taste.

But more seriously I think it has to do with al the minerals on the oceans floor mixing with the water. (2/3 of the earth are covered by water, now thats alot of minerals mixing )

The water at my local public swimming pool tastes salty... mmmh I don't trust the fat guy in the corner...and yes, he looks like a whale.

Of course there is sperm in the sea. But there has never been a case of a female swimmer becoming impregnated by whale sperm, so you don't have to worry much.

Ehhm ... what did you smoke?

All the dead fish?

Erm.......... defenetly not, the sperm decomposts and dries out very fast due to it's microscopic size. Bacteria act on it and finish it fast. So no the sea is not salty becuase of whale sperm. The sea is salty due to it's chemical composition of salts.




So... DEBUNKED!

This has to be one of the most funny thing i ever heard !

think about how many fat people in the ocean and then think about the whales... now think of a mix between those and there you have it also the reason i hate to swim rofl

Well, it has to do something with something doesn't it. Of course there is the minerals and all that stuff mixed and who knows what but maybe the secret behind this is really...sperm. ....On second thought...no. Still you can't deny the fact of the gallons of sperm they release into the water. I mean who knows what goes into your mouth when you drink it. Its not like anything bad happens when you swallow it...unless it was poisoned. Anyway, DON'T SWALLOW SEA WATER. There still is sperm in there as we type. The point of this thread was to tell whether or not the sea is salty because of sperm (which is most likely not really) and to tell you just be careful what you swallow. Just wanted to tell you guys. Wait a second.. what about urine. Nah. Also that thing about it being too small and the bacteria would get it. Gallons and gallons of it would mix into it and some of it will get in there, not all could get eaten by bacteria. Were talking 360 gallons. But still don't worry if you drink sea water. Not all of it is sperm. Well I end my post and say farewell. I hope you learned your lessons because I said it at least 5 times in this post.

Salt is good as a germ-cleansing thing (sorry couldn't think of the right word LOL).

It is lucky the sea is salty otherwise the bacteria would probably build up to astronomical amounts and kill everything in it.

WTF?
Is that picture from your private collection?

oo here's a pic for u!

While we're on the subject of sperm in the ocean, who has swam in a lake or river? There's fish sperm and fish pee in there.

But OP, there is too much water in the ocean for any amount of whale sperm to make a difference. It gets diluted and degraded. Sperm doesn't survive long outside the body. It's basic biology.

Z498, I think I thats where I got it from. Ya, I got it from there. I hoped someone sooner or later would post this. Of course sea water is perfectly safe because fellow posters said that it would never survive long enough. I mean its in fact healthy to drink it. Its like drinking water in your own home, if you don't count the pee, the waste, and chemical waste that possible fallen in, and the cesspool which also could of possibly fallen in and all the dead fishes, also anything else you can think of. Yep just like home. Well this urban legend has been proven...TRUE..THEY ARE ALL LIEING!!! No really...

URBAN LEGEND PROVEN: FALSE.

The Earth's water is safe for another urban legend.

P.S-Sorry for the huge font. Its one of those "and it is proven..." false or true things. But I don't want it to be false. But maybe its not...*dun dun DUN DUN DUN!!! Its up to you to decide.

Thats not a whale, it is a species of shark called a whale shark. And thats not a shwong, thats probably it's intestines. Sharks don't mate with shwongs, they mate withan apendage called a clasper which the insert in the female cloaca. So not a whale shwong, not a shark shwong, but probably a shark intestine.

Fat people + whale sperm + water = HORRIBLE mutation

Oh the HORROR

This thread started out on rather shakey ground and went downhill for there. The last post sealed the deal; this is not a thread that needs to stay open.
