3. I've thought about that before.
Fish fuck and shit in water. And then we drink it. That's just wrong.

6. Or themselves.
What other species defecates and fornicates in the same space it inhabits?

That's right, none.

12. I say this...
I won't be satisfied until they are on the endangered species list!

We must stop the bears. I call upon all nations, to stop these terrorist Bears.

Thank you.

Now watch this drive.

along with sharks and alligators.

25. Especially alligators.
This is like "The Summer of Alligators" according to the cable news, they're f'n chomping babies heads off and holding up banks and church bake off's and shit.

It's a sick sad world.

16. If I took a one liter pee in the ocean...
and that pee spread out over all the globe and its oceans, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs...

then if you poured a glass of water, from your tap, bottled water, whatever...

than that glass contains about 10,000 molecules from my pee.

21. Jesus makes them disappear.
That's why we pray.

Because he makes them disappear.

If we stop praying, he'll put it all into our lakes and rivers.

30. And if you think that's bad...
consider that every time you drink a can of pepsi you're drinking roughly 400,000 molecules of Hitler pee.

38. It's hard to worry about that..
... when you consider that everything that leaves your toilet is treated and returned to your tap.

40. You needn't worry ..really..
... the water you drink might well have passed through several people.

Through the miracle of chlorine, which oxidizes (burns basically) any organic matter, water is made 100% clean.

Just don't think about it!!!!!

2. It can kill you if you drink too much too fast.
I guess some frat boys killed themselves "hazing" on water a couple of years ago.

Eh.

4. Pure water can kill you
It will leach all the minerals from your body until you go into cardiac arrest.

Plus, if you breath the stuff, you'll drown.

But in moderation it can be a life saver.

14. Distillation
Boiling and condensing is the only way to get pure water.

8. Yes. You should only drink
alcohol. That way the minerals stay in your body like Xipe Totec said and you won't die from mineral depletion. You might die from other things, however.

15. Too much water too fast can kill you
Your brain swells. There was a case not too long ago where a woman made her young daughter drink glass after glass of water. And the little kid died from it.

Large (though not fatal) amounts of water can even (oddly) dehydrate you.

I'm with Midlo - the only "water" I drink is pronounced "vodka".

Khash.

19. Which literally means...
little water.

I prefer aguardiente, which means fire water.

And I would stick around for a response, but I'm thirsty.
