Does it? I thought the sub-cutaneous fat tissue just builds under the skin, as a layer on top of said organs. i.e: their organs are constantly being crushed under the weight of their fat. *edit: I understand some fat deposits happen in weird places, once people get to a certain size, but definitely not anything that would warrant them, "floating around." *edit2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peritoneal_cavity Ya learn something new, every day. However, I'm still mostly right. The organs aren't "swimming" in anything. They're still just being crushed by the extra "cushioning". *edit3: wait, no, I was totally right to begin with. It's still just a layer (albeit a different one) on top of said organs. Woot, vindication! READING WINS AGAIN! In celebration of this, I'm gonna go read a book, now.
