Water is water....unless its holy water, of course! I'm not quite sure what's special about this gimmicky beverage, except its from Canada and might raise my eyebrows slightly more than Aquafina or Evian. I'm pretty sure this water isn't any holier than Detroit's finest tap water.
Uh oh, looks like THOSE holy water sellers have competition from THESE holy water sellers. In fact these guys think their water will save you from sin. (Not really, its a joke.......) When I tried to place an order, they gave me a confirmation number and said my order would be filled through omnipotence.
I wonder what God thinks? Is HE getting a cut of the water that He made in the first place? :)

At dinner last night, the younger Free-Ride offspring told us about a science lesson from earlier this week:
Dr. Free-Ride: You were going to tell me about a science activity you did, we think, on Tuesday in school?
Younger offspring: Mmm-hmm.
Dr. Free-Ride: Tell us what it's called.

Along with the rest of my crew, I entered the theater. Not just any theater, mind you, but a special effects theater. This meant that at certain points during the film your seat would vibrate ominously and a small spritz of water would shoot out from the seat in front of you. More on that later…
Maybe I'm not the right person to bring this message as I drink very little in the way of fluids each day, at least compared to my students who will, I am sure, have to be surgically removed from their water bottles. Of course I've also had kidney stones twice, so I'm not suggesting anyone do as I…
So, a funny story about this. I posted a snippet of a fantasy story back in August, and enough people said nice things about it that I actually got off my ass and did some playing around to format the full story as an epub. This was, of course, complicated by the fact that computers are awful, but…

Actually, the cleanest water in Canada, if not the world, is in Tiny Township, Ontario. Where they are planning to run it into a garbage dump.
Can't say it surprises me, there are some real wackos in the water purification business. I have an uncle who belongs to a cult and runs a water purification business out of the den of his roofless shack. If he thought of this, he'd do it in a second.
Last time I saw him he was telling me about his favorite bible passage: "It is better to cast your seed in the belly of a whore than to spill it on the ground." Which he interprets as a divine endorsement of swallowing over spitting.
Using google to search for "holy water sale" found many many examples of, ah, supposedly "holy water" supposedly for sale. This also turned up: Cancer risk of 'fake' holy water.
If it were real holy water it would have to have a health warning for satanists and vampires etc and be illegal to sell to practitioners of witchcraft. I think I'll stick to the stuff from the tap.
I saw an infomercial for this stuff just a couple of days ago, purporting to heal the sick, offer redemption to sinners, etc. etc. While I don't enjoy seeing people exploited so crassly, it's a wonder that there are people stupid enough to buy into it.
Ignorance I can understand, but this goes beyond ignorance. Maybe this calls for a new t-shirt - "Have you been brainwashed with Holy Water yet?"
