Over Consumption of Water

deathstarclock

Hey guys. I just wanted to address this issue that I've seen asked from time to time. Yes, drinking too much water is actually bad for you. Why? Because you piss like crazy. Having to run to the can to take a leak every fifteen minutes is not fun. Unless that is your cup of tea.

*wipes hands* And that takes care of that...

Who needs that all night long?

Next thing you know, they'll be telling us to drink this stuff:

Dihydrogen monoxide -

is called "hydroxyl acid", the substance is the major component of acid rain.
contributes to the "greenhouse effect".
may cause severe burns.
is fatal if inhaled.
contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
as an industrial solvent and coolant.
in nuclear power plants.
in the production of Styrofoam.
as a fire retardant.
in many forms of cruel animal research.
in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.
