Geek "Duh" moment

Bronn and I were eating out. He prefers to put ice in his coffee and I tend to drink tons of icewater. I'm one of those who will ask the waiter for an entire pitcher to myself after a night of partying. Sitting in the booth, I watch the ice cubes floating in our respective drinks. What is going through my little head, you wonder?

"If cold objects sink and hot liquids rise due to relative density, then why isn't the ice sinking?"

Um, could it be because water expands when it freezes, changing it's density?

While I realize that this may not be readily apparent to all, it was definitely a "Here's Your Sign" moment for me.
