Water is water....unless its holy water, of course! I'm not quite sure what's special about this gimmicky beverage, except its from Canada and might raise my eyebrows slightly more than Aquafina or Evian. I'm pretty sure this water isn't any holier than Detroit's finest tap water.
Uh oh, looks like THOSE holy water sellers have competition from THESE holy water sellers. In fact these guys think their water will save you from sin. (Not really, its a joke.......) When I tried to place an order, they gave me a confirmation number and said my order would be filled through omnipotence.
I wonder what God thinks? Is HE getting a cut of the water that He made in the first place? :)

Maybe I'm not the right person to bring this message as I drink very little in the way of fluids each day, at least compared to my students who will, I am sure, have to be surgically removed from their water bottles. Of course I've also had kidney stones twice, so I'm not suggesting anyone do as I…
So here I am, stuck at the airport with no internet connection. Don't ask me why. I am showing a signal, but this has been the Trip from Hell, so I'm not surprised. It should have been easy. One hour flight time, nice hotel on the waterfront, all day meeting with interesting people discussing…
I don't fly as much as I used to but I still fly too often for my likes and when the cart comes around for the free beverages it's either orange juice "with no ice" or a bloody mary mix "with no ice." I rarely drink water, but if I did, I would never drink the water out of a pitcher, as offered to…
Dear Sharon: Some of my friends say there is no Santa Claus. But I really need to know if there is. My Mom has been telling me about something called global warming, and I'm worried about Santa, because he lives up at the North Pole, and if it melts, he'll be in trouble. My Mom said some grownups…

Actually, the cleanest water in Canada, if not the world, is in Tiny Township, Ontario. Where they are planning to run it into a garbage dump.
Can't say it surprises me, there are some real wackos in the water purification business. I have an uncle who belongs to a cult and runs a water purification business out of the den of his roofless shack. If he thought of this, he'd do it in a second.
Last time I saw him he was telling me about his favorite bible passage: "It is better to cast your seed in the belly of a whore than to spill it on the ground." Which he interprets as a divine endorsement of swallowing over spitting.
Using google to search for "holy water sale" found many many examples of, ah, supposedly "holy water" supposedly for sale. This also turned up: Cancer risk of 'fake' holy water.
If it were real holy water it would have to have a health warning for satanists and vampires etc and be illegal to sell to practitioners of witchcraft. I think I'll stick to the stuff from the tap.
I saw an infomercial for this stuff just a couple of days ago, purporting to heal the sick, offer redemption to sinners, etc. etc. While I don't enjoy seeing people exploited so crassly, it's a wonder that there are people stupid enough to buy into it.
Ignorance I can understand, but this goes beyond ignorance. Maybe this calls for a new t-shirt - "Have you been brainwashed with Holy Water yet?"
