Man, it's been ages since I've played at one of these...let's see if I remember how. Did the relevant actions with It(1), It(2) and It(3) happen in a short time period - say a few minutes? A few hours? A few days? Is this relevant? Are any of the following relevant: Her age? Her Location? Time period? Her socioeconomic status? Marital status? Her profession? The fact she is a she? Anyone else important here besides her? | ||

If this is going to a dihydrogen monoxide place I will figure out how to kick you through the intarwebs :P Is it a combination of two elements? Three? Is it commonly consumed? And, because anything can be described a combination of elements on a molecular level, would MOST people refer to it as "a combination of elements" rather than by another name? | ||

Vesica: If this is going to a dihydrogen monoxide place I will figure out how to kick you through the intarwebs :P lol Is it a combination of two elements? Three? closer to 7 to 10. The first seven are most common, and the remaining ones are highly variable.

************* SPOILER ************** A preliminary autopsy states that a woman died of "water intoxication" following a water drinking contest for a Nintendo Wii. News10 in Sacramento reports Station 107.9 The End's "Hold your wee for a Wii" contest had contestants doing exactly what the title says. The winner was the person who didn't release their bladder the longest. According to the woman's co-worker, after the contest, "She said to one of our supervisors that she was on her way home and her head was hurting her real bad ... she was crying and that was the last that anyone had heard from her." The co-workers contacted the woman's mother later on to check up how she was doing and she discovered the body. No word yet on how much water the woman consumed. Another senseless trajedy brought on by uneducated foolishness. As Vesica stated earler, this kind of thing is really stupid and I really hope the law comes down on them hard. Thanks to all for the good work. Not bad for a first puzzle back. Now I need to step it up a bit, I expect. | ||

I happen to live near Sacramento, so I imagine the story got quite a bit more coverage here than elsewhere. It was very sad. Apparently the excess water causes the brain cells to swell and eventually burst, leading to death. Unfortunately, no charges have been pressed; the only action taken was the firing of several employees at the station. |
