Thus the "(about)" in my post. It will also vary based on the specific composition / mineral content of the water.

So, if hydrogen is flammable, and oxygen is flammable, why does the combination of two parts hydrogen to one part water put out fires?

Which also brings up the fact that because both hydrogen and oxygen by themselves are also inflammable, why do we have to have two almost similar words to describe the exact same physical phenomena?

Maybe we should have a poll to determine what one should be used......

Not only that........

I really didn't want to destroy all of your youthful illusions in one morning, but Dr. Nick was also the one who performed Curt Schilling's ankle surgery.

It's like flammable and inflammable. They mean the same thing. Boy, I found that out the hard way. -- Woody, from Cheers
