Finite amount of water on earth?? Water is being made and broken down all the time. Your body makes new water molecules from the oxygen you breathe and the hydrogens on the organic compounds you use for energy. Plants split water molecules to get hydrogens that can serve as energy carriers. The oxygen released by this process is the oxygen you are breathing right now. Water molecules are certainly not permanent or fixed in number.

That's not true. If that was the case, we would be drinking Ghengis Khan's pee or bathing in water from the disease filled cesspools of ancient Roma.

Water arrives from frozen planets in space. Large chunks break off and enter the atmosphere up high somewhere. What doesn't get absorbed by the clouds or eaten by flying birds lands on the ground, soaks in and becomes fresh water.

I remember that from some university fysics coarse or PBS maybe.

On an unrelated note, and for the benefit of any of my English instructresses, a run on sentence from some place in Europe.

It is strictly forbidden on this camping site, that people of different sex, men and women for example, live together in one tent unless they are married with each other for that purpose.

I was born about 10,000 years ago and was granted the first water concession on Earth. Until I went to work the oceans were empty and Queen Cleopatra's barge was a disco.

I'll whup the guy that sez it isn't so.

Disco? Say it ain't so! I always figured Cleo to be a Country music fan!

Good heavens, no! Cleo was a wrapper.

You're gonna be rich if corn prices stay up.

"I saw Peter, Paul, and Moses playing ring-around-the-roses..."

I'm hoping! And with that in mind, we need some singing, Americana and corn! Thanks Stubby.

What happens when you burn some paper? Why does it need oxygen? What happens to the oxygen? Some of the oxygen combines with hydrogen from the cellulose to make water. Get a Biology book at look up cellular respiration and photosynthesis if you want to see one of the many ways water is made and destroyed. Large organic molecules are frequently made from smaller organic molecules by dehydration synthesis in which water is made from a hydrogen from one molecule and an oxygen and a hydrogen from the other molecule. Water is then destroyed when the large molecule breaks down. You are making and destroying water in your body cells every moment of your life.

What you are probably remembering is the fact that the amount of water on earth stays fairly constant. That does not mean that the individual molecules cannot be made or destroyed.

You mean when I fart I'm actually contributing to sea level rise, right?

I'm phartin' some bodacious greenhouse gases tonight...

That guy reads too many books.

Some Goreites would say you are and that you should hold it until you explode. If you were to light one you would produce carbon dioxide and water, both of which are "greenhouse gasses" that those who worship Gore claim will raise the sea level. I do think it is interesting that they rarely actually mention water as being part of the cause of their cherished global catastrophe.

Yes, we get a lot of people that visit from the Catholic Online Forum.

Blessings upon thee. I'm actually a Fundamental Low Churcher - a Spiritual Humanist and animist, but understand and accept that you may have beliefs too.

From the Book of the Vast, please welcome this found one. And hark, the man who has been delivered unto us for blessage and truft must sing.

In frammin' salutation,

Greetings upon thee! In the hope of blessed ensulmination, we wish thee normativity! That there is right and wrong, good and bad, function and dysfunction, salmon and nella. Chimo!

Join with me now in singing that old negro spiritual, Having the Donkey for Thee. After that, we invite you to remain with us for a shout and to contemplate our serene obulation.

You're killin me almost spit my drink on the puter.

And yes in this atmosphere the h2o is finite .........

Well Dayum! I'm opening up a life jacket concession 'cause I see the future plain as day!

You might want to get rid of that land in Gainesville you were going to sell as oceanfront lots.

This thread has gone on a long time, does that mean it is meaningless...lol.

No, we are reversing the principle.

Everyone knows that when wood is burned the water vapor goes into a black hole and that is how pharts are formed. Sheeeesh.

How does that relate/equate to quarks and dog farts?
