Well, a boat floats because it is designed to displace liquid density equal to its own (or it displaces an amount of water equal to it's own weight).
 
Fish have a two chambered heart (humans have four) and their blood only flows one direction. The blood enters the heart through a vein and exits through a vein
on it's way to the gills. The blood then picks up oxygen from the gills and distributes it through the body via arteries. The gills collect oxygen through diffusion.
I can explain exactly how if anyone really wants to know.
 
The sky is blue due to what is called Rayleigh scattering. As light passes through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through (red, yellow, orange are hardly affected). Most of the shorter wavelength light (blue) is absorbed by gas in the atmosphere and scattered in all directions. So, since you are standing looking up and the sky is everywhere then the sky is blue wherever you look. And for the next question, why does the sky turn red? Well, it's because of the angle of light approach from the sun in the atmosphere. Basically what it means is you are looking at the sun directly (which if you remember the sky is red where the sun sets) and you are seeing more of the red and yellow light rays. Take a flashlight and turn it on. Look at the beam from the side. You can't really see it, that is the blue light. If you look more directly into it then you see more of the light. Same principle.
 
I am not a smartass, just a science buff. :)

I have a question

A father and son went fishing one day. While they were out in the boat, the boy suddenly became curious about the world around him. He asked his father, "How does this boat float?
 
The father replied, "Don't rightly know son." A little later, the boy looked at his father and asked, "How do fish breath underwater?"
 
Once again the father replied, "Don't rightly know son." A little later the boy asked his father, "Why is the sky blue?"
 
Again, the father repied. "Don't rightly know son." Finally, the boy asked his father, "Dad, do you mind my asking you all of these questions?"
 
The father replied, "Of course not, you don't ask questions, you never learn nothin'."
