Would that be official city limits, or the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area, which stretches from SE Wisconsin to NW Indiana?
Never have I been more convinced that actual metric measurements would help!

I was wondering the same myself.
Also wondering whether a Chicago-shaped iceberg would float

Still a pretty good attempt. I give it four stars.

Wouldn’t all icebergs float? I can’t imagine a shape that wouldn’t, since ice is lighter than water.

The extra heaviness of deuterium is just a little bit more than the extra lightness of ice, so yeah, in theory it would sink. It might be difficult to get enough material though.

I am most annoyed that I can’t find any stills from The Man From UNCLE episodes/movie - The Concrete Overcoat Affair/The Spy in the Green Hat - with Janet Leigh and Jack Palance, in which heavy heavy water ahem plays a part.

Nice! Now I know who to go to next time I get a random knitting question. I thought the answer was “about 5 mm”
