I told you SuperSoakers were just an evil ploy to train kids in the use of modern weaponry from an early age.

Actually, wer't thou to dropeth water from one of those planes used to puteth out forest fires, anyone on the ground whither it hit would most likely die. Water bombing from heights is actually a good way to kill people.

Nope. It's a rather poor and inaccurate method of killing people when compared with bomb bombing from heights :p

My world has been water lately (well I do work for a water company). But as a side story, yesterday they announced via their intranet site to us that scientists in our Falmer labs had developed "L'eau Flow" - powdered water. Adding one pint of water to this powdered water could create up to ten pints of rain-quality water - perfect for summer droughts!

Of course, when you click on the link to order the stuff you get told the real story. Happy April Fools ;)
