It is immediately apparent that there should be an investigation of water
hazards by the Congressional Oversight Committee. And if we get the contract

Ruth,
You may be on to something here! Another interesting observation on the
toxic effects of Hydrogen Monoxide: 100% of all cancer victims have
been exposed to water , and nobody who has never been so exposed ever got

Can
someone explain this, please, in some way other than with statistics?
I have nothing against statistics, but they show correlations, not causes.
Looking at correlations alone, it is perfectly possible to draw the wrong
conclusions about causes, as in the following canard:
Q:what
is it in a highball, a gin-and-tonic, and a scotch and soda that gets you
drunk?
A:
it must be the water, because they all contain more water than anything
else.
