| #10 ...you better warm up that HP calculator. I bought an HP 12C business calculator in 1984; I still have it and carry it in my briefcase. |

| #7 Wait a minute. An interesting thought experiment. The surrounding 'higher' gravity regions pull more water. |

| #4 Wait a minute. If there is less gravity, shouldn't the ocean be higher, not lower? Or has climate change changed physics, too? |

| #3 That gravitation is not uniform over the Earth's surface has been known for a long time. The effect is even accounted for in our ICBMs' inertial guidance systems. If you want to treat the gravitation of any large mass like a point, you better warm up that HP calculator. |
