Seawater. Not just any seawater, but seawater from the depths of the ocean.

I just don’t understand people.

How do you condense water? :confused:

Must buy STOCK!

Aaaah yes, the same consumers that pay hundreds of dollars for stinky used tennis shoes.

I am trying not to generalize, or put down the lovely Japanese people in any way, but, WTF? Why do they seem to go so crazy for these things? Rhino horn aphrodisiac, bear gall etc…and now seawater? Last time I looked, Japan was surrounded by seawater.

Lyllyan, they are playing on the fact that some deep ocean water masses in the Pacific haven’t been in contact with the atmosphere for an average of roughly 1500 years (the length of time it takes deep water formed in the North Atlantic to circulate around the world). The ocean waters around Japan have already come back into the atmosphere and are thus “contaminated.” Although, since their pipeline only extends 2000 feet down, they probably aren’t even hitting deep water masses (which IIRC lie at depths below 1450 meters).

They also seem to be missing the fact that particulate organic matter (e.g., fish crap, decomposing marine life) will still sink from the surface ocean through the “unpolluted” water they’re sampling. :stuck_out_tongue:

I am definitely in the wrong business.

There is irony somewhere concerning naval vesels sunk during WWII, but I’m to tired to work it out.

Or, as Steven Wright asked, what do you add to it?

We need to get into this industry!

Let’s see…

How about we sell bottles of compressed air for people who live in places with smog problems (like Los Angeles)?

Bottled fresh in the Canadian Rockies!

The label would have a drawing of a guy in a red Mountie uniform, really buff and healthy-looking, standing on a mountain peak with a huge grin on his face.

You stold that from Spaceballs, you swine!

:slight_smile:

And I stole it, too :smiley:

I’m thinking that we’d use 2-liter bottles, however. More air will make it easier to charge $5 a bottle for it.

I’m going to start selling my pee as a foot ointment.

Ease bunion pain with Odinpee!

I thought about the compressed air thing too, until I realized that they already have oxygen bars. How about bottled dog saliva? Everyone knows that a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s, and dog saliva is sure to clear up many skin conditions.

Erm, what?

Voila the ocean conveyor belt.
