Well, beleive it or not, I know of two water drinking related fatalities.
On was fraternity hazing in Chico california.
Get this, they forced the guy to drink gallons of water (guess the figured drinking alot of alcohol was too dangerous?) well I don;t know if it was his kidneys filtering all the pee, or the depletion of dissolved minerals in his body(I think this was the cause in both cases) or what, but he drank so much water he died.
Another was a radio talk show contest "no pee for Wii" where the contestants had to see who could drink the most water without peeing, the winner would get a nintendo Wii, well someone drank so much water they died.
Plus... toddlers can drown in like 2 inches of water, yup, if hot coffe has a warning label, i can definetly beleive some a$$hat lawyer will get a warning label on all forms of water0 -
Dihydrogen Monoxide [:D]
Has the human race gotten so dumb that common sense has been bred out of it?
Anybody remember the Westerns where someone was stopped from drinking too much water after crawing in off the desert?
Or where anyone who had gotten dehydrated was cautioned to "only take sips"?
Horse people also know this.
Along with keeping an empty chamber under the hammer on old single action's
Not practicing your "fast draw" with a loaded gun which landed Ruger in court and resulted in the "transfer bar" safety. (and engraved warnings)
"Don't eat your ice cream too fast jr. or you'll get a headache"
(watch this one it's overdue)
pokin a hornet's nest with a stick! (no money here)
etc
etc
etc
Yep we'll soon see warnings on bottles of water.
First one'll be ..Warning injesting too much water too swiftly may result in death!
(couple of ways to take this one)
Warning if chilled swiftly injesting the contents of this contaner may result in acute discomfort!
Next one'll be .. Caution do not throw this container at your friend's face while he's are not looking as it may cause injury! (to you when he catches you)
signs on water fountains,the kitchen sink,in the bathroom,on the garden hose,bob wire around the swinmming pool (attractive nuisance)
Danger,Will Robinson,Danger!
No wonder that politicans think that we need them to tell us how to act every moment!
It's dangerous out there!

Hyponatremia. Too much water messes up the sodium/water balance in your bloodstream. This results in your cells absorbing more and more water in an attempt to dispose of the excess. Eventually they either cease functioning and die from too much osmotic pressure or burst altogether.
It takes a massively concerted effort to get to that point, though. Well past the point of obvious negative symptoms (vomiting, shivering, dizziness).0 -

Here's a start for a warning label for water[:D][:D]
The Invisible Killer
Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.
Dihydrogen monoxide:
is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
may cause severe burns.
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.
Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions!
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.
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.
Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!
The Horror Must Be Stopped!
The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.
It's Not Too Late!
Act NOW to prevent further contamination. Find out more about this dangerous chemical. What you don't know can hurt you and others throughout the world.0 -
"Warning: Do not swallow contents of this container without water" 0 -
The piece that Rogue Rob posted was from a college student seeking signatures on a petition to ban dihydrogen oxide (H20- get it?) He was doing this as a research project. Out of a LARGE number of fellow students, ONE recognized that DHO was WATER. Most signed his petition seeking to outlaw water. DUH ! Good post, Rob! 0 -
BTW- I am looking for a warning label any day for AIR. This has been found to be the most addictive substance known to man. One becomes addicted from the first dose, and withdrawal seems to be 100% fatal!!! 0 -

Atlanta QB Vix just got stopped at Miami airport with a water bottle that had a "hidden" compartment containing suspected pot. The stuff was behind the label, so it couldn't be seen when the bottle was upright. Dumb a$$.[xx(][xx(] 0 -
Woman Dies After Water Drinking Contest for a Wii
(Sacramento, CA) - A 28-year-old California woman died of water intoxication, after doctors say she drank too much water too fast during a "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" radio contest.
Assistant Sacramento County Coroner Ed Smith said Saturday a preliminary investigation found evidence "consistent with a water intoxication death."
Jennifer Strange's mother found her daughter's body at her home Friday in the Sacramento suburb of Rancho Cordova, California, after Strange called her supervisor at her job to say she was heading home in terrible pain.
"She said to one of our supervisors that she was on her way home and her head was hurting her real bad," said Laura Rios, one of Strange's coworkers at Radiological Associates of Sacramento. "She was crying and that was the last that anyone had heard from her."
Earlier Friday, Strange took part in a contest at radio station KDND 107.9 in which participants competed to see how much water they could drink without going to the bathroom.
Initially, contestants were handed eight-ounce bottles of water to drink every 15 minutes.
"They were small little half-pint bottles, so we thought it was going to be easy," said fellow contestant James Year of Woodland, California. "They told us if you don't feel like you can do this, don't put your health at risk."
Ybarra said he quit after drinking five bottles. "My bladder couldn't handle it anymore," he added.
After he quit, he said, the remaining contestants, including Strange, were given even bigger bottles to drink.
"I was talking to her and she was a nice lady," Ybarra said. "She was telling me about her family and her three kids and how she was doing it for kids."
The winner of the "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest was promised a Nintendo Wii video game system.
John Geary, vice president and marketing manager for Entercom Sacramento, the station's owner, said station personnel were stunned when they heard of Strange's death.
"We are awaiting information that will help explain how this tragic event occurred," he said.0 -

That station calls itself KDND "The End."

From the tape it sort of sounded sort of like howard stern; but I believe he is on a different frequency.
Was it howard stern on the water death thing? I ask since I heard he went to sirius and changed radio stations.
I would not put it past him since he has done some sick stuff on his show.0
