If there's one thing I've learned from the football forum, it's that water is wet. I feel like we should explore this further.

Wetness is a property that is defined, in layman's terms, as the percent water content. Since water is, by definition, 100% water, does that make it wet?

Can water be intrinsically wet? Or do you have to add some water from an outside system, which then makes both bodies of water wet?

Was the original water dry, prior to the introduction of this foreign water? At what point do you reclassify this new, larger body of water and say that it is no longer "wet," but is now simply a larger body of water, having no wetness to it.

These are questions, and I want answers.

Is the sky blue? Any good smart ass would argue that the sky is colorless, and that the blue hue is only attained by the refraction of light waves by our atmosphere, or some scientific nonsense like that.

But what is color, other than our brain's perception of the light waves reflected off of surfaces? And in this case, since we see the refracted light waves as blue, wouldn't this make the sky blue?

Blue has the longest wavelength diffused by oxygen and nitrogen, therefore our eyes see it more readily than any other color. just sayin

I did some testing over lunch. I touched some water, and it didn't feel wet. Just cold.

I poured the water on my pants, totally on purpose, and then my pants were wet.

I dont understand. Water has some very intriguing properties that we may never understand.

:question:

So can I drop these in water, and they will rehydrate?

Ingredients
Dehydrated Water, Gel Capsules

Directions
To rehydrate the dehydrated water capsules, simply place one capsule in a bowl of hot water and allow the gel capsule to dissolve.

Some of the reviews are funny.

Octane on fuel is just a scam.

Always put regular in even if your owner's manual mandates premium.

It scares me that half of the reviews were trying to warn people that you couldn't actually rehydrate them back into usable water...
