  • In college I discovered the physics department’s distilled-water tap and started filling my water bottles from that because the regular drinking fountain on that floor was nasty. A classmate tried to tell me distilled water would make me die from dissolving all my minerals away or something, which I poo-poohed and kept drinking it for the taste. In hindsight I should probably have avoided it for the same reason as the big sign on the physics department ice maker, also accessible anonymously from the hallway: “No maintenance is performed to deter bacterial growth”. Oops. Well I turned out just fine pretty good okay so all’s well as ends without food poisoning.
