“Several people we know, in 3 unrelated incidents, all reported that they themselves or a direct family member received this warning in the last 2 or 3 days..”
And none of these taxidrivers have been apprehanded and asked for the source of this rumor? I forgot, no waterboarding, please.
Lighten up, Francis.
Well, that was my point.
Ahem.
BTTT
OK, whatever...
Don’t let science and facts get in the way...
Take an empty plastic water bottle, one that you bought from a store, drank and now it’s empty.
Fill it with water from your tap, screw the top back on and let it sit for 7-10 days.
Observe the results. Open it and drink it.
You’ll notice that it’s quite the same as water fresh from your tap.
This is because our tap water has chlorine in it.
For the water to go ‘bad’ because of bacterial contamination it needs:
at least 10exp3 viable bacterial colonies...
Bacteria need a food source, carbohydrates like some form of sugar and then they need other trace elements to reproduce like potassium, phosporus, calcium, iron, nitrogen and sulfur...to make proteins and so forth...
If NYC goes up in a puff of smoke, then you’ll be happy to have whatever water is left...
I believe you RaceBannon.

I have. . . .I think the chicken littles here need a little valium. They are practically suffering from the vapors.
Oh. . . .”The name’s Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I’ll kill you.”

> And in order to save on precious drinking water all should drink their bourbon straight without ice.
(BIG GRIN!) I’m a Navy Rum man, myself: large, overproof and without ice or mixer. No point polluting perfectly good Rum.
Cheers!
Rats ass

> The anti-kidnapping SWAT team?
HAH! Good one, mate!
As for Stripes, well, all I can say is wow, CLASSIC stuff. Just think: Stripes, Blues Brothers, Caddyshack...what a great time for classic comedy.
And these days we have, well . . . these days we have DVDs of the great stuff.
Since Mark Steyn reported the story of the little boy in school, perhaps you are meaning to implicate him?
okay,take a case of water
leave it in the back of your pick up truck over the summer
then drink one
have toilet paper handy
do I need to fill in how I know??
If the muzzie cab drivers are aware of an imminent threat directed at New Yorkers and they aren't reporting it to the authorities then aren't they guilty criminal conspiracy of at the least negligence?
The drivers and their cabs are easily identified. How hard can it be to round a few of those who have made these comments and do a little interrogating?. There must be dozens, if not hundreds, of cops in NYC who could get to the bottom of this in a few hours.
It’s not DU to say that hysterical rumors are just that. Actually, DU thrives on hysterical rumors, but I don’t think we should do the same.
