question

[woolymonkey]

Squirrelmonkey has lots of questions. This is today's.

How big/heavy would a sponge have to be to crush a person? Is it physically possible?

He knows sponges don't grow that big. He's wondering about mass and gravity and squidgeyness.

Thoughts, anyone? Please?

The marquis informs me that both tube and sponge are frictionless.
And the oxygen pack would, of course, protect from suffocation but not from the crushing.
