"water doesnt just fall out of the sky"

It's difficult to argue with that logic.

More than half of the water on Earth came from volcanoes or hot springs. I know this because a geyser down the pub told me.

His thinking is clouded, but it should cause a perfect storm of controversy in lightning quick time. I hope that his reasoning is well grounded.

Most of the water round here is recycled.

Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.

The very deep did rot: O Christ!
That ever this should be!
Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea.

Used to be at Uni near Burton. I am a quarter Belgian and had my first Stella aged 5. OK, it's not the best, unless they run Jupiller up from down the road to fill a production gap, which sometimes happens, making just a tad better. Anyway, there was I back in 78 with my tastebuds set for something decent, the day it was launched in the UK. A mouthful of something decent awaited, Burton delivered! Whoever pulled that one, I have his own variation on St Lawrence's punishment in hell, being roasted forever in the hop-house. Burton don't brew, they simply rebottle direct, I swear! My revenge was to get to know one of their main board directors...

The senator's pronouncement was a bit precipitate.

It doesn't wash with me either. Still, water under the bridge and all that...

What a bunch of drips! That last comment was the hightide-mark of the undercurrent of sarcasm flowing through this thread. I'll wave you all goodbye.

What frustrates me is the same people who charge you for it charge you again for getting it back, and charge for what does come out of the sky....

They charge me for the same amount that comes in as going out - but I use some of it on the garden.

They charged my brother-in-law for removing rain that ran off his company roof despite the fact that it ran straight into the nearby river.

In Colorado the law changed recently - it used to be illegal to catch rainwater. I'm not sure that all bans were lifted, but I think the restrictions eased a bit.

Thy used to say that Londoners who lived down the river drank water that had already passed seven times through human bodies. Heheh. I'm staying in Cornwall!
