Can't taste much worse then the ground water from most places in the states. I lived by lake Michigan so we always had delicious water!

Now I have a water fountain complex! :) A couple places we visit regularly has drinking fountains within a few feet of the restrooms.

So up until now, if it has been 10 years, nobody got sick or noticed anything funny about the water? Also the only difference is the "low grade" water is usually unfiltered ground water. It's not like they were drinking flushed water, just non-potable water.

I also find it a bit hard to believe that suddenly in July 80 kids get sick and they figure out the problem after roughly ten years.

Kids now a days cant stand up to anything anymore. A little bit of dirt on their food, etc etc etc, or toilet water, what the heck is the world coming too?

I'm surprised nobody brought up the fact that this happened in Hiroshima. :ohmy:

I know, I know, I'm sure it doesn't matter anymore, but still.

Heck you never know, I guess the world will have to wait another few years to see if they start producing 11 fingered offspring, or some other abnormality
