Very , Lightworker. Thanks for the lesson, gull. ancient spewing gases and ions...

"In lakes, relatively rapid turnover of water and its dissolved salts keeps the water fresh ? a water droplet and its ions will stay in Lake Superior for about 200 years, compared to roughly 100 to 200 million years in the ocean. ?Even if you did have any accumulation of an ion in a lake, it would be washed out quickly,? McKinley explains."

So why is the Great Salt Lake salty?

Low turnover?

I thought this thread was going to be about the Blue Whale, about which had some bogus emails running a while back:

"The average blue whale produces over 400 gallons of sperm when it ejaculates, but only 10% of that actually makes it into his mate. So 360 gallons are spilled into the ocean every time one unloads, and you wonder why the ocean is so salty..."

I thought it's because Emeril Legasse salts all the food he cooks at least twice.....this has got to be getting into the runoff.

So I suppose they don't "unload" on a regular basis, hence their blue hue??
