The Water in Your Glass Might Be Older Than the Sun

Earth is old. The sun is old. But do you know what may be even older than both? Water.

It’s a mystery how the world became awash in it. But one prevailing theory says that water originated on our planet from ice specks floating in a cosmic cloud before our sun was set ablaze, more than 4.6 billion years ago.

As much as half of all the water on Earth may have come from that interstellar gas according to astrophysicists’ calculations. That means the same liquid we drink and that fills the oceans may be millions of years older than the solar system itself.​

We're all drinking recycled pee.

You're drinking fish pee, perhaps; not me, I never touch the stuff... I'd rather drink moo juice, or maybe a nice artificial cola.

Nestle uses springs, no fish pee, but does a bear do ? in the woods? Water wouldn't stop him. Bobcats will use water at times, too.

If we subscribe to the theory that a good majority of the world's water was the product of comet impacts, then isn't it a reasonable assumption that it contains alien pee?

The truth may be out there, but this thread is WAAAAYYYY out there.

Earthquakes across the world including powerful tremor in Ecuador and series of shakes in Japan could herald new MEGA quake

In addition to the four major earthquakes to have struck since Thursday, last week there were also shakes in the Philippines, Vanuatu and Myanmar.

All of the earthquakes have occurred in countries straddling the so-called Ring of Fire.

This is a horseshoe-shaped series of trenches spanning the Pacific Ocean where tectonic plates are shifting and seismic and volcanic activity is common.​

"A scientist has warned the recent seismic activity could see a 'mega' earthquake in the future."

Alien microbes and traces thereof.

Originally written and recorded by Joni Mitchell.
I heard a quote from I think Graham Nash, who was her boyfriend back then, saying that they took her song and turned it into a "boy song", which kind of irritated me when I heard it.
