Part of my plan to finally get back into my size 10 jeans, is to increase my water intake. This has resulted in me becoming somewhat of a connoiseur of bottled water.
I've worked out that Perrier is the best 'fuzzy-water', but basically there is no difference in the 'not-moving' stuff - apart from the price. But what has me confused is the habit of putting a Use By Date on them... on water... wtf?
From what I was taught back in my school days, water is basically recycled anyway: In the sea, evaporated into the clouds, rains into the rivers which then flow back into the sea. If you chuck lifeforms into the equation, it goes something like this:
In the sea, fish pee in it, evaporated into the clouds, rains into the water catchments, fish pee into it, into the cities/towns, out of the taps, into the lattes and soups, down the gullet, out of the gullet, into the toilet, off to Bondi, back into the sea... where fish pee in it.
Considering that 'all water is all water' - we have simply been recycling the same water since day dot, with even the polar caps giving up and taking some back throughout history. Wow... maybe someone should do a study on the percentage of fish pee in the polar caps!
If you stop to think about it, your cup of coffee probably contains dinosaur pee (this info would be intriguing to a 5-year-old with a dinosaur fixation and would be handy as a blackmail tool for getting them to drink water!) or maybe even the pee of some infamous historical figure!
Maybe I should open a Water Bar! For $2.50 you could have your choice of:
Beethoven's 5th Pee
Hilter's Power Pee
Einstein's Spelling Pee
Pee Wee Herman's Pee
Custer's Last Pee
Dammit... I'll be a millionaire!
