Invade Canada, NOW.

Send EPA-SWAT!

Protect this ancient water.

I’ll bet it has the cure for AIDs, and for Alt-Right.

That man is the character Bobby Boucher played by Adam Sandler in the only funny movie he ever made, The Waterboy.

If you watch the movie you’ll get the joke.

OK excuse me if I think this is crap. The scientist dig a hole and think that this pool is older than any other pool beneath any other hole they could have dug. Scientist crap just to get published.

...

You’re excused. Ignorance is so much easier than science.

Water filters into the ground constantly. The land itself moves especially over 2 billion years. I am pretty sure that water is not the same water as this guy thinks it is.

So when will they start marketing it to dopey millennials as the latest trend in bottled water? They can call it “Giga-Water”.
