Water is ...
... a chemical. Two parts H to one part O. The molecule looks like Mickey (Mouse, not Dooin), the hydrogen "ears" separated by about 105 degrees. It's one of the finest solvents in all of nature, which of course is why we're using it.
Can anyone tell me why it's not on the list of unsuitable chemicals? Because it occurs "naturally?" This crowd is too smart to fall for that old saw. Some of the most deadly botanical poisons occur naturally. And as for natural fluids, anyone care to employ a few milligrams of cobra venom on the cards?
Barry Arnold, what's your opinion on this?
