			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Erik was dreading through his advancement to candidacy yesterday, and he was wondering whether there&#8217;d be a way that will ensure the success of his advancement.  A sign of brilliance showed when he decided to attach the new WaterBoyz logo to the title page of his presentation slides.  The committee members were so impressed that they unequivocally commented on Erik&#8217;s greatness.  Congratulations to Erik, now a Doctoral Candidate!!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the work of a genius:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-345" title="erik-advancementfirstSlide" src="http://waterboyz.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/erik-advancementfirstSlide-300x225.png" alt="erik-advancementfirstSlide" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>If you look a little bit closer, the red box highlights the traces of the WaterBoyz!<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-341" title="waterboyz_sticker" src="http://waterboyz.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/waterboyz_sticker-300x300.png" alt="waterboyz_sticker" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>We have a very strict screening process for verifying qualifications, so ask us for details if you want to add the WaterBoyz logo to your slides!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-323" title="religulous" src="http://waterboyz.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/religulous.jpg" alt="religulous" width="287" height="400" /></p>
<p>Inspired by an educational movie night, watching <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0815241/" target="_blank">Bill Maher’s Religulous</a>, I feel that, as a WaterBoy, it is my duty to say some words about water and religion. One particular example in the movie stands out:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw3d0DiPITo" target="_blank">Watch the clip here</a></p>
<p>So the Trinity is like water, it can be steam, ice and liquid. This analogy is striking. The Trinity, a fundamental concept within Christianity, is the belief that God is three separate persons, but is still a single God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Following the water analogy, I wonder who could be what? Holy Spirit relates to steam &#8211; obviously. But I&#8217;m left puzzled how to relate ice and liquid to either Father or Son.</p>
<p>Of course water not only plays a central role in Christianity. In most religions, water has a cleansing function. Water can clean holy object but also has the power to clean people&#8217;s spirit and thus make them more perceptible for God&#8217;s message. This theme can be found, amongst others, in Christianity (baptism), Hinduism and Judaism.</p>
<p>It should be pointed out that this exploration is merely scratching the surface. There&#8217;s much more to explore and our valued readers are encouraged to take part in the discussion.</p>
<p>One of my next posts shall explore the role water plays in philosophy. It is simply flabbergasting on how many levels water affects our lives and believes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To further advance our research, the Water Boyz continued our quest for water underground.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-285" title="Underground Cavern" src="http://waterboyz.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Austin_Texas_091120_164-300x200.jpg" alt="Underground Cavern" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>The Water Boyz would like to document how water shows its patience by turning limestone into a natural phenomenon. Here&#8217;s the official message on the cave formation posted on the Natural Bridge Cavern website:</p>
<p><em>The cavern formed by an underground “<strong>river</strong>” moving slowly through cracks and pores within the limestone. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Rain Water</strong></span> seeping through cracks started dissolving the limestone. In time, the original narrow cracks or joints enlarged to form huge underground conduits or passages.</em></p>
<p><em>Perhaps due to changes in climate, vegetation, or other natural forces, the <strong>water</strong> drained to lower levels within the earth. As the <strong>water</strong> left the upper passages, it moved deeper and started forming a second level. The <strong>water </strong>eventually moved to another level even deeper within the earth. As the <strong>water </strong>left the lower level, stresses within the rock led to many of the layers collapsing to form break-out domes. This final stage of collapse led to the creation of the passages our visitors now see.</em></p>
<p><img title="Austin_Texas_091120_155" src="http://waterboyz.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Austin_Texas_091120_155-300x200.jpg" alt="Austin_Texas_091120_155" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>Thanks to our readers, rain water has been voted as one of our fans&#8217; favorite form of water in our recent poll.  Here is a close up shot of rain water in the cavern for y&#8217;all to worship:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Friends, recently water has been indicted by the so-called &#8220;creative&#8221; types (read: Suits) in Hollywood.  We are in a time of crisis: water-based education has fallen by the wayside.  Instead, we are preposterously led to believe that water is the enemy, capable of profound death and destruction worldwide.</p>
<p>I am talking, of course, about the mother of all doomsday motion pictures, &#8220;2012,&#8221; directed by &#8220;filmmaker,&#8221; and I use that word loosely, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Emmerich">Roland Emmerich</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://waterboyz.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/2012-movie-poster.jpg" alt="LIES" title="LIES" width="509" height="755"/><br />
<strong>Figure 1.</strong> NOT GUILTY</p>
<p>You might say, &#8220;WaterBoyz, this isn&#8217;t the first time water has fallen under attack!&#8221;  </p>
<p>You would be correct to point that out!  Hollywood has poisoned water&#8217;s good name before.  If we look at a brief history of filmmaking, the attack on water IS RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES.  Behold:</p>
<p><img src="http://waterboyz.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/perfect_storm.jpg" alt="perfect_storm" title="perfect_storm" width="514" height="755" /><br />
<strong>Figure 2.</strong> Hollywood reveals itself as a Habitual H20 Hater.</p>
<p><img src="http://waterboyz.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/deep_blue_sea.jpg" alt="deep_blue_sea" title="deep_blue_sea" width="507" height="755" /><br />
<strong>Figure 3.</strong> Water was framed&#8230;by SHARKS.</p>
<p><img src="http://waterboyz.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/poseidon.jpg" alt="poseidon" title="poseidon" width="525" height="778"/><br />
<strong>Figure 4.</strong> My &#8220;scientist&#8221; friends tell me the whole physics of this is impossible.  An insidious attack on both water AND science&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://waterboyz.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/day_after_tomorrow_ver4.jpg" alt="day_after_tomorrow_ver4" title="day_after_tomorrow_ver4" width="513" height="755" /><br />
<strong>Figure 5.</strong> Another Roland Emmerich joint.  YAWN.</p>
<p><img src="http://waterboyz.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/waterworld1.jpg" alt="waterworld" title="waterworld" width="507" height="755"/><br />
<strong>Figure 6.</strong> Kevin Costner single-handedly ruined SOME ASPECTS of water for me: during the summer of &#8217;95 I was terrifically afraid of bath-water.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s stop this ludicrous display together.  If you feel like our reader &#8220;ninja norm&#8221;: &#8220;sick and tired of hearing about water’s role in tsunamis, hurricanes, and riptides&#8221; the WaterBoyz urge you to write your congressman as soon as possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From time to time, the WaterBoyz are sought out for their commanding intellectual grasp on all things-water.  Upon checking the WaterBoyz email inbox this evening, I must confess I was pleasantly surprised to find this short note. Grad student and self-described &#8220;water enthusiast&#8221; STAN writes:</p>
<p><em>Hey WaterBoyz&#8211;how much water should I be drinking daily?  I can&#8217;t seem to get a straight answer from my friends and it&#8217;s literally driving me insane.</p>
<p>Fondly,<br />
Switchblade Stan</p>
<p>P.S.  What do you guys DO?</em></p>
<p>Stan, according to multiple scientific studies, e.g., (Actuarius, 1557) if you drink 6-8 cups of water a day, you should be fine.  You probably get much more than that if you drink teas, milk, juice, coffees, or soft drinks.</p>
<p>In the future, you should consult either a WaterBoy or doctor for your water-related questions.  Not your friends.</p>
