Drink Up!


Dade4Christ has been giving out free water at Miami Dade North for a few weeks now.

Here's some fun facts about water...makes you look at that zephyrhills bottle a little differently :o)

- Sound travels about 4 times faster in water than in air.

- The $100 drink of water
Would you spend $100 for a glass of water? Some 49ers on the California Trail did.

Because of poor planning, many western-bound 49ers were unprepared for the hot, dry deserts of Nevada. A few sharp businessmen in California knew this and took advantage of the situation. They traveled eastward with barrels of water. Extremely thirsty, many 49ers paid $1, $5, even $100 for a glass of precious water.

- There is the exact amount of water on Earth today as when the Earth was formed. Water is never totally consumed. It always recycles itself, in one form or another.

- There are almost 800 different brands of bottled water for sale in the United States.

- The human brain is 75% water; a living tree is also 75% water.
