LOL!
We’ve been looking for you! Glad to see you!
Just got back from Trinidad, where Puncheon Rum is . . . well . . . respected.
Rum and ice and water, day after day after day after . . .
I couldn’t drive out of my head the whole time there the great quip from Winston Churchill: the Royal Navy has made three main contributions to civilization: rum, buggery, and the whip.
I’ve never had much use for the last two, but as for the rum, ;O)
no, I cant say more
if it is a genuine hoax done by the taxi drivers, the phone calls to my friend were real
family members who just got off the phone with their kids in NYC who had it happen to them
people who have active fatwas against them and are almost immune to fear at this point got seriously spooked
and the usual gang of idiots on FR refuse to actually read the article they try to trash, make statements that are supposed to be conclusive that are in total contradiction to what was posted, and yet, dont get it when the original poster is dumbfounded they would make their ignorant and unlearned statements
I’ve been on this topic all day. On the phone with several people, some freepers, to discuss this
Updates twice today
then, someone remembered the article about the text messages. So, I posted what I knew about the taxis with the text message things
and whamoo, losers comment on things they know nothing about
> This is because our tap water has chlorine in it. For the water to go ‘bad’ because of bacterial contamination it needs:...
What you say is quite true for a bacterial contamination. Algae is a different matter altogether.
Here in the Waitakere Ranges (NZ) our water is Chlorinated, just like yours. It is also amongst the purest tap water in the world (it has won awards internationally). Nearly chemically pure.
If you bottle it and leave it in the sun, in a few months it will begin to grow algae.
Algae needs only sunlight to make its own food.
Your water in NYC is highly unlikely to be as clean as ours. So I would not dismiss out-of-hand that algae could grow in your bottled tap water in a matter of a few days, if you left it in the sunlight.
That’s the price you pay for living in the Big City.
I think you should read what I actually wrote before you embarrass yourself anymore
I have a new friend from Nigeria.......I'm gonna be rich!
My sister’s husband’s cousin told me not to eat any Halloween candy.
I ain’t got no pickup truck.
Ok, enjoy the evening.
Later.
the cab numbers were called in in 2 of the 3 I know of

I am not sure why there seems to be a Jewish connection, but my source got his information from people on the phone, not some internet rumor
we actually spoke to the people who had it happen to them

Sorry Gon, but that was me. Only I was in Las Vegas and woke up in the bathtub to find someone had surgically removed my colon........

> okay,take a case of water
> leave it in the back of your pick up truck over the summer
> then drink one
This is also probably correct. You see, bottled water is often only processed and filtered to “Food Grade”: very clean compared with, say, puddle-water or rain-water.
Water from most civilized city systems is usually processed to “Drinking Water Grade”: which is a much higher standard than “Food Grade”. I believe it is an order of magnitude cleaner (I stand to be corrected on that).
MORAL OF THE STORY: People who buy bottled water are mugs. They are paying their left nut for an inferior product.
I have no difficulty believing that bottled water would go “off” if left in the back of a pickup truck. None at all.

we can hear fine ...
NO NEED TO SHOUT
Next time, just post it to PM again. Especially to the people with ping lists. I don’t have one, but many do.
Some may think this is a hoax. I pray nothing happens. A simple “Be aware of your surroundings” hurts no one.
And if this thread can keep something from happening, your reward will not come on FR but rather with Our Lord himself.
my goodness, doesn’t anyone remember their high school biology?
Yes, green plants use photosynthesis to grow, however, algae still follow the rules when it comes to reproduction.
There MUST be a source of carbohydrates and trace minerals.
C H O P K N S Ca and Fe are the basic building blocks of life.
Take away any one of them and cells, both plant and animal, cannot survive.
Algae may grow to a very low extant as some cells die, some others may use the now free materials but after a short time, senescence will take place and further growth is not possible. You will not get a freakin’ algal bloom in a sealed container!
and I don’t live in NYC thank God!
Over and out! I’m going to get that water bottle out of my golf bag and have a big swig!
YWN has reached out to high-ranking members of the NYPD, and have stated that although they received the same text message, “there are no credible threats to be concerned about - and don’t even know where this text message originated from”.
