    In point of fact, the pressures are not unendurable -- as any deep diver
working for the Navy will testify.  The more serious problems involve such
things as nitrogen narcosis (starting at pressures around 4 ATM. or 70+ PSI)
and oxygen toxicity (starting at a mere 2+ ATM or 29+ PSI).  And then,
assuming sufficient water vapor to account for all the increase in water
levels, the heat of condensation accompanying the conversion of all that
gaseous water into liquid form would have raised temperatures on earth to
above the melting point of lead.
