You'll never fucking believe this.

My brother and dad are digging up the ground at the side of my house in preperation to build a new stairway. So guess what they found buried under three feet of dirt on the side of our house??

An old, dirty, mostly full bottle of water.

It looked like about a 20 oz. bottle. And it was almost completely full of water. It stank like hell, though.

That thing must have been from the original construction site of our house from the late 40's. A construction worker must've forgot that he had it, and they just piled the dirt on.

That is the god-damndest thing...

1. E-bay it.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. Cool.. except for the stinkiness part.

[Sannum]

3. I will give ya 30 bucks if you drink it!!

:evilgrin:

[johnnie]

4. Maybe it was a caveman's water bottle

Did you find a anything that looks like a "wheel" made out of a rock?

[WeRQ4U]

5. Ebay and claim that you sincerely believe it holds Christ's Baptism Water

Some dumbass will buy it, stink and all.

[Squatch]

7. And you wouldn't be wrong

I read someplace that a cup of water taken from any source in the world has at least 200 molecules of water from Jesus' baptism in the River Jordan.

Why I know that, I have no freaking clue.

[WeRQ4U]

19. Wow, I feel so..............

Divine.;-)

[TheDebbieDee]

18. "Claim you sincerely believe it holds Christ's Baptism Water."

LOLOLOLOLOL!

[LiberalFighter]

6. Glass or plastic? Was it unopened?

Content labeled as water?

[SmileyBoy]

8. No label, and it was opened.

There was a lot of dirt in the water.

9. I believe it...

I've worked on old barn restorations where we jacked the thing up and dug out tenches for new concrete foundations. Found lots of old bottles, tools, and other cool stuff.

[MindPilot]

10. when they replaced the floor in my garage and pulled up some

60-year old concrete, I found a couple of the old style medicine bottles. they were kind you might see in one of those old ads for "Dr John's Rejuvenation Elixir" or something like that. I also found an old magnifying glass with a solid brass frame; the handle had long since rotted away, but the lens is in pretty good shape. I plan to turn a new handle from a piece of the house's original framing.

[Demobrat]

11. Oh BOO. Is that all?

I was hoping for something good. A headless corpse, at least.

[liss681]

13. I agree

A headless corpse would have been much cooler.

[johnnie]

14. Or Jimmy Hoffa n/t

[the_spectator]

12. That is pretty amazing --

I mean, how many construction workers were drinking "Bottled Water" in the 1940s?!?!

Even yuppies didn't abandon tap water until the 1980s, right?

[JVS]

15. I wonder why it was stinky

[NoSheep]

17. No chemicals in it? No Chlorine?

[Drifter]

16. Neat ... I found ...

We put all new insulation in the attic when we moved into our house. I had the dusty task of removing all the old stuff.

I found several bottle caps for a beer that is no longer made. It was called "Topper", and was brewed in Rochester, NY (where I am). This was probably from the period that the house was built (40's).

I also found a hammer, and several knick-knacks. It was like a little time capsule.
