this sorta discredits the "don't drink the water" warning.
Grab those old plastic milk jugs and head down the creek for some
fortified water.

But, but... osssifer...I've had nothing to drink but water.

Rog.

I wouldn't be too quick to guzzle. Normally, the ethanoll is
"denatured" by the addition of TWO PERCENT GASOLINE, thereby rendering
it, well.... suitable only for use in the old jalopy. But with all that
water, you'd have to run down to the store for some alcohol to put in
the tank to take care of all that water in the gasoline and ,
and,,,,,, and . oh, well. Ad infinitum, nauseamque.

Those tank cars were filled with ethanol, not gasohol. They had the
good old fashioned grain alcohol. That creek might actually be safe
to drink, from a biological approach after being disinfected with
alcohol, but I doubt there'd be much of the "good stuff" in the
water. <:-))

Just a lot of fish not quite themselves... some happy, some sad, some
angry, some amorous. Tomorrow they'll all have raging fish headaches,
some will remember today in a haze with sheepish embarrassment, some
won't remember today at all...

That stuff has an IQ enhancer? I thought it was the other way around.
