Air ye daft, laddie?

What does a bottle of water cost these days... a buck, maybe two?

I haven't the slightest idea... because the thought of buying bottled water... not to mention water bottled by some company, from some place you've never even been... rather than the free stuff that comes out of your own faucets, strikes me as utterly moronic.

I try to imagine explaining this to my long dead Scottish grandfather and, well... I just can't find any words that make it sound like a reasonable proposition.

It's also why I can't imagine anyone is actually surprised by this...
-- TORONTO -- The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public not to consume Ark Land brand Naturally Carbonated Mineral Water because it may contain arsenic.

The water was produced by Arzni Source for Klukva Pure Inc. of Toronto, which imported the water from Armenia.
So what's the deal here?

Someone must know.

You know the pretentious asshole at your sister's wedding -- the guy who bored everyone to tears with his never-ending, melodic tribute to the seven dollar bottle of plonk at the dinner table?

Well, apparently there's someone even more obnoxious than that guy...
