It's funny because salt water can go below the freezing point and you're not aware of it.


How can it go below freezing point? When it comes to that point - it freezes! :) No matter if that point is at 0° or at some other value. :hubbahubba:

Should be renamed eiher ICECRABS or SNOWCRABS or FROSTCRABS. Can you think of any more names?

I was thinking Snow Goats or Ice Gerbils!

I think they should bring back Cliff Racers and call them Ice Condors.

:rofl:

Someone should tell you:
- that water can't get below freezing point because it becomes ice
- that water is 'heaviest' at 4°C and that ice floats on the water


:rofl:

Someone should tell you:
- Water can reach temperatures below freezing and not freeze to ice, it happens in deep waters, and it can even happen in your freezer under certain sircumstances if you put a bottle of liquid in it. Same applies to water that would normally turn to gas due to high temperatures, such as by volcanic underwater vents.
- Salinity, pressure and how much of certain elements like natrium water carries determines at what temperatures it freezes.

Here's a link to a youtube video where a beer has a temperature below it's freezing point, yet remains liquid until it's disturbed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_H5ZIoZSBo

Well, too lazy and not good enough in english to explain it myself, so just read this :

http://chemistry.about.com/cs/howthingswork/a/aa120703a.htm


Also,you consider temperature as the only variable, but pressure (and exact composition of the liquid as shown in the link above with salt) is just as important.

EDIT : ninja-ed. took too long to find a good link.

Makes me think we should have seaweed (for alchemy) in the game. It would give us a good reason to dive into the water and not just water walk.

Pretty good on a plate with some clarified butter :hehe: (gah, need a rimshot or Groucho smilie)

Actually, it'd look a bunch like the OB mud crab :shrug:

Howzabout some giant krill?

'Land' crabs? As the aquatic variety wouldn't be much of an issue.

PermafrostCrabs

They crawl out of the predominantly frozen ground to bite at your ankles. Adventurers beware!
