death isn't the end, it's the beginning. but if you're worried, get the cell phone away from your head and this lap top off your lap and drink nothing but water that was distilled.

Actually that's not such a good idea. Have you heard of water poisoning? That happens when you drink too much water and end up washing away the electrolytes from your body. There was a water poisoning related death in California a while ago, after a radio show offered a prize to whomever drinks most water for the duration of the show. The lady that was in second place died a few hours after the show, if I remember correctly.

Edit: there it is: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/...n2369761.shtml

So why isn't distilled water good? Because it's distilled, so all the minerals have been removed from it. So if the water doesn't have minerals, instead of giving them to you, it will take them from you, so no, I would never drink distilled water.

I would at the very least dissolve some table salt into it, if I really had nothing else to drink but distilled water
