  1. paws4thot says:

    That’s entirely understandible; monatomic hydrogen just keeps reacting with stuff!

  2. Lawlin' at things noone else ever lawls at like the word moose says:

    Curses, so close to being first…. oh well, i guess thats when you contruct the water with the hydrogen and oxygen? :S

  3. Droll not Troll says:

    They’re making water on the security camera- and after the other sign told them not to!

  4. JohnB says:

    We all know this really means that there’s one person working half-heartetdly on constructing molecules of water while eighteen people hang out and lean on shovels.

  5. Crashdaddy says:

    Gonna go build myself a drink 8^D

    • JohnB says:

      I built lots of drinks, but I tended to start with EtOH rather than HOH.

      • dr handle says:

        I always find it difficult enough to grab hold of the ethyl group and attach it to the hydroxide – how the hell anyone can get hold of that damned proton, I’ll never figure out. Maybe I just don’t have a pointy enough pair of tweezers. Frigate, I’ve had enough with craftsmanship, I’m just gunna go fire a solid fuel rocket and do a batch job.

        • JohnB says:

          I always outsourced the construction of the EtOH and the HOH and proceeded from there, but there were certainly plenty of batches, not to mention some botches and b!tches.

  6. Meowth says:

    Two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. You know, they might just be driving Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars. The only exhaust from them is water vapor.

    • JohnB says:

      Since we are already experiencing stifling humidity here in Kentucky, perhaps this isn’t the ideal climate for hydrogen-fueled cars…

      • Meowth says:

        Stop constructing water there, then!

        • JohnB says:

          We don’t construct it here! We import it from the Gulf of Mexico, where it collides with the cool air we import from Canada, resulting in violent thunderstorms and tornados. We know how to have fun with weather here in Kentucky!

          • Mr. Frykas says:

            QUIT STEALING OUR COOL AIR!!

          • PoodleGroomer says:

            We get to tease it and watch it get angry as it marches across Missouri.

          • Meowth says:

            You southerners, always outsourcing your construction jobs to Mexicans.

            • JohnB says:

              Well, we can’t get none of you Yankees to come down and work in this heat and humidity! What are we to do, set down our mint juleps???

              • Alice says:

                Throw some chocolate on the floor, Yankees will come.

                • Meowth says:

                  Who eats chocolate off of the floor?

                  • Alice says:

                    Yankees.

                  • JohnB says:

                    Chocolate addicts. Starving people. Obsessive-compulsive people whose floors are so clean you can eat off them.

                    • Meowth says:

                      And you are one of the latter?

                      • JohnB says:

                        *Chortle*
                        Reasons for chortle:
                        1. When I lived alone, I didn’t need a broom. Only a shovel.
                        2. I have a 10-year-old daughter now, not to mention an only semi-trained puppy, which means that on any floor of my house, at this moment you would probably find 27 pieces of toys and/or games; 16 hair appliances of various colors, forms, and degrees of brokenness; 12 dirty footprints, about equally human and canine; three or four urine stains, identifiable by smell and/or color; 6 dirty socks, none of which match any of the others, and none of which my daughter left there, even though they are all her size; one shirt, ditto; one pair of underwear, ditto; and two pieces of brown stuff, lurking in some dark corner or partially underneath some furniture. Would you like to try the brown stuff on the odds that it might be chocolate?

                        • Meowth says:

                          Definitely no eating off of your floor, then. Who left the socks if they aren’t your daughter’s?

                        • paws4thot says:

                          The odd sock fairy?

                        • Meowth says:

                          Those pesky fairies… Stealing teeth and leaving socks… The nerve of them!

                        • JohnB says:

                          Those fairies seem to have an unhealthy attachment to my daughter, since they follow her around depositing used clothing, empty drink containers, hair appliances, and knocking random items on to the floor, none of which ever have anything to do with her.

                        • JohnB says:

                          It’s also never ceased to amaze me how single socks emerge from the dryer and their mate never turns up. I’ve taken apart my dryer, so I know they’re not stuck somewhere inside. I theorize that there is a parallel universe where people regularly put two socks in the dryer and come out with three.

                        • Meowth says:

                          Your dryer is just on the teleportation network. Many peoples’ dryers are like that, from what I hear. I actually know someone who gets extra socks she has never seen before out of her dryer. Maybe they are yours? Harry Potter uses fireplaces, we have dryers. It is that simple. As for your daughter, perhaps it is your pet poltergeist that we were talking about earlier that is putting the things there. They like to knock things down, too.

    • Tzedragon says:

      Is heat and noise also exhausted from a Fuel Cell powered car?

  7. Martin says:

    It says “waterworks” in Japanese.

  8. dr handle says:

    When Hydrogen played Oxygen, the game had just begun
    When Hydrogen scored two fast goals, while Oxygen had none,
    Then Oxygen scored just one goal, and thus it did remain:
    Hydrogen 2, Oxygen 1 – called off, because of rain.

  9. Water Boy.
    Where are you hiding?
    If you don’t come out, I am going to get pretty darn cross.

  10. McBee says:

    So it’s not allowed to mention that this photo has been stolen from another website?

    • paws4thot says:

      Well, if you can see another site’s watermark on the photo, of course it is. Otherwise there are 2 obvious scenarios which don’t involve breach of copyright:-
      1) 2 separate people took very similar photos an submitted them to different sites.
      2) One person took a photo, and submitted it to more than one site.

  11. McBee says:

    Yeah, well, whatever…

    Since the submitter was anonymous, I thought I was making the webmasters a favor by pointing out the fact, but obviously someone didn’t share my perspective….

  12. Neuraminidazed says:

    what’s on top?

  13. laconejita says:

    The man on the yellow caution sign looks like he drank some bad water and is now having stomach pain.

  14. firerook says:

    水=Water
    道=Road
    水道=Water Conduits
    工事 = Construction
    中=Middle
    工事中= Under Construction
    水道工事中=Water Conduits Under Construction
    Don’t know why, but almost all automatic translator, translate 水道 as water and not water conduits.

    耐震化=Earthquake resistant
    工事=Work
    耐震化工事=Construction is Earthquake resistant.

    局=Office/Bureau
    水道局=Office for the water conduits

    C’est vraiment moins drôle quand on comprend la langue.
