The thanksgiving holiday is fast approaching and in that spirit, here is a problem to ponder over the holidays.
A submarine is submerged and stationary 500ft below the surface of the ocean.
In a cabin right next to the chow hall, a 100lb turkey was resting on a table when it happened to overhear two cooks discussing plans for the upcoming thanksgiving dinner.
What it heard threw it into a panic and it flew into the air and began to fly around the cabin in great distress.

Question: has the equilibrium/buoyancy of the submarine changed?

"It's a helicopter, and it's coming this way. It's flying something behind it, I can't quite make it out, it's a large banner and it says, uh - Happy... Thaaaaanksss... giving! ... From ... W ... K ... R... P!! No parachutes yet. Can't be skydivers... I can't tell just yet what they are, but - Oh my God, Johnny, they're turkeys!! Johnny, can you get this? Oh, they're plunging to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Not since the Hindenburg tragedy has there been anything like this!"
