    Checked the article in the Epic Level Handbook: actually, it weighs "only" 250,000 pounds, and 40'x40'x70'
    With 112,000 cubic feet and 250,000 pounds - it's denser than Osmium (over x1.5)

    Yes, I know.

    Actually, most persons are don't even sunk at all (alive or dead) - no efforts to stay afloat required
    (But bloating corpses are occasionally even brought to the surface weights which their murderers used to "keep 'em down")

    I doubt it - sounds like not enough leverage
    But - if you have calculations, it would be interesting to check it...
