The airplane flies and the steel ship floats because of the numbers who have been worked out by real mathematicians.
If they added up the numbers the way you have above, they'd probably be expecting the ship to fly and the aeroplane to float.
Anyhow I for one, am glad you live in Australia and not here..
So am I.

You live in dreamland, there are ships the fly, and airplanes that float. duhh.......
