[edit] How can there be no data anyhwere in wikipedia on this?

How much days can one survive without drinking?, how many without eating? without breathing? The answer is borderer but not treated.Undead Herle King (talk) 04:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] does a fish get thirsty?

Fish living in saltwater do drink the water through their mouths, and thus must have some sort of drive to make them want to drink. This stimulus would be in many ways similar to the phenomenon we humans know as "thirst". Fish living in freshwater, however, absorb water through their skin, and don't need to actively drink at all. Thus freshwater fish probably do not experience thirst. Fish, such as salmon, which spend some time in saltwater and some time in freshwater probably only become thirsty and drink when they are in saltwater. In the future, it would be best to submit a question such as this to the WP:RD/S, it would have been answered in minutes, with any luck.Tuckerekcut 17:42, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Do fish have tastebuds?--Kjmoran 03:13, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit

I came across the article quite randomly and I just love the way it was written! I assume that it was copied straight off another website but nevetheless if not the article did make for funny reading with such extracts as:

"(drinking water)helps urinary tract infections become virtually a thing of the past"

and

"Of course if you are engaged in some kind of hot activity (something that makes you sweat), you'll need to drink more"

best of all:

"Finally, don't fret about the need to go potty more often once you start increasing your water intake. Your bladder will quickly expand to meet the new requirements and you'll be able to hold more without needing to make so many pit stops."

I noticed that someone had placed a rewrite to a narrative, npov encyclopedia style, so I've done just that on the hydration section, though it still needs some online sources or citations. LordHarris 00:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Read the first paragraph of this article aloud to someone. Wow.--Kjmoran 03:13, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

And Bouguereau's painting is just the pick to match the supreme quality of the article... ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whichiswhich (talk • contribs) 15:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
