Then by logic, it has nothing to do with them being mass murderers, we all drank the same water according to you you, so A; we should all be mass
murderers, or B; we all drank the same water, which in no way affected us to be mass murderers, and they were mass murderers by disposition and just happen to drink the same water. Which I believe the case to be.

Water, Great movie, Dr Strange Love,
Do you remember what Col Jack Ripper said to his executive officer, Group Captain Lionel Mandrake? "Drink water? It is Fluorided, a Commie plot, not me, I only drink pure grain alcohol" :D
Me too!!! Ever Clear ;)

Ahhhh BUT Grain alcohol is about 5% DHMO!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :D

Not if it is processed correctly!

There are ways to remove the DHMO from
this tasty mixture. Search onward, young Padawan! :D

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.

Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

If I remember right from high school chemistry, the problem is that as soon as you expose pure ethanol to the air, it will absorb the 5 percent water from the water vapor in the air.

Would that depend on the Relative Humidity? If you were in the dry desert?? Or in the Gulf States?
