I feel like being random:

Little known fact~Water does not conduct electricty (well)

if you want the explination why this is true, just ask.

o.O?

*takes a big breath* You see the water itself doesn't conduct electricity. You see H2O is made of two non-metals and therefore is a covalent bond, and covalent bonds don't conduct electricty very well if at all. (Things like sand are exceptions because it has a metaloid in it). What makes water conduct eletricity is all the stuff in it besides the actual water. like the iron that rubs off from in the pipes and other stuff that's microscopic but still in there. In other words, if you had a pool full of nothing but distilled/pure water and you were in it when lightning struck it, you wouldn't be harmed because the electricity wouldn't carry through the covalent bond that is water.

I have the Super Mario Bro. theme stuck in my head. rolleyes

and a song called 'Mirai' from Digimon Tamers(I download random songs).... it sounds like a man with a high pitched voice is singing it, but it is really Envy's voice 'actress'(Envy is male but they gave him a female voice actress cuz he 'appears' to be young... when he isnt... over 300yrs old.) She is really talented. eek

Wanna know what theme song is annoyingly catchy? The one to Azumanga Daiou (I've been yelled at to spell it with an 'u' rather than the 'h'), Soramimi. I swear, first time I heard it, I sat there all week humming it.

Technically, yes. But so far it has yet to be proven. Almost like the light ray experiment where almost everybody thinks that red light ray will destroy an item quicker than the blue light ray (turns out that red light ray caused almost no damage, while the blue light ray caused about the same damage the red light ray "should" have).

Also, a lot of people predict, thinking that it's the water itself, but really, almost no one knows the truth, except me because I did a science fair project on it.

Almost true. Even pure water slightly self-ionizes to a tiny extent. A water molecule is made up of an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, H2O. In any body of water, a few of those molecules randomly lose one hydrogen each, which then attaches itself to another water molecule. So you end up with some OH, hydroxide, and some H3O, hydronium. These ions are charged and do conduct electricity, and to have pure, nonconducting water, you'd have to get rid of them somehow.

Water is one of the most non-reactive liquids in existance, while you can dissolve many things in it (polar bonds only actually) but not much makes it change it's chemical make up, which is surprising, when you take into consideration that Hydrogen is one of the most reactive and at that violently reactive elements there is. But basically the eletrons in the electricty can't move through the bonds of water (at least not very well) and i'm sure they;ve tested this out on smaller portions of distilled water that they could keep distilled.
