In reference to The Amazing One's latest commentary and pronunciamento...


...Now, this suggests a great test, folks. I just know that this remarkable substance could not possibly fail to affect a really dedicated sinner, a genuine reprobate, a certified, admitted, unrepentant, dark-hearted fiend like me. I′ll even put peanut butter on communion wafers, while gurgling down this "product," and I′ll have no fire extinguisher standing by…

What say? Watch The Amazing go up in flames, fun for the whole family!

Hey, if it can be guaranteed that someone will video this little conflagration and post the video where we can see it, I'll kick in for a bottle...

Incidentally, their website quotes the price for a 16.7 oz bottle (that's a half liter) for only 99 cents. Now, the shipping prices may very well be where they're making the profit...

But still...

If the whole thing cost me less than ten bucks, AND the video was made and posted where we could see it...maybe a few seconds each in fifteen minute intervals just to check on the possibility of a delayed reaction...

Yeah, I'd foot the water bill. What the hey...I can always use a good laugh.

UPDATE -- I bit the bullet, and emailed Mr Randi on this. I think it'd be a hoot if he went for it...

Anyone want to up the ante?

Say, a promise of a ten-spot contribution to the JREF as an added inducement for this little contra-contretemps?

Hey, I'm so evil that babies and puppies and kittens burst into flames when I walk by. I'll drink some.

I wonder if they'll have a satanist on staff sooner or later to make water for evil people? Or an athiest to just look at the water as it goes by for people who don't care?

The warning about causing burning sensation among us evil folk sort of flies in the face of Catholic teaching that Holy Water (and consecrated eucharist) reverts to regular water (and unconsecrated wafers) in the hands of an unbeliever.

I think it'd be a perfect way to demonstrate that us atheists are not the immoral, baby-eating fiends that bleevers often claim us to be.

Look, I'm drinking the water. No burning sensation, no sweating, no rash, no vomiting. That proves that I'm neither a sinner nor evil, right?

Sadly, the warning label on the bottles only say that the water MAY cause burning sensations, sweating, rashes, vomiting, etc. when administered to a sinner.

Sorta like how, given statistical probabilities, all the air molecules in a room MAY move spontaneously to the north side of the room, leaving the south side of the room in a temporary vacuum.

True, but it should still be good for a laugh.

I'll drinking this water heavily during a week long sin-fest full of blasphemy, drinking, sex, rock and roll... well that's pretty much every week. But still! I'd join in to show the lack of effect.

Once you "pass it" is it still holy?

No. The body never really passes "holy". Alcohol dehydrogenase converts HO-ly to the aldehyde O=ly, which is trapped in the joints causing gout and generalized stiffening. The popular slang ther "Holy s**t" is a gross misconception. :biggrin:

Don't listen to the eco-alarmists! Hydrogen hydroxide is your friend! (http://www.armory.com/~crisper/DHMO/)

Actually in small amounts,purified by alcohol it can be quite beneficial.
