˙˙00˙ ˙00˙01˙03˙01The Puritabs Quest˙00 ˙02˙a Taste Experience˙01˙ ˙00 ˙˙ ˙03˙02PUH / AGONY ˙02˙01˙01˙00˙ ˙˙01In times of war, things like water and food are not for granted. It is planned for a total back-up for the people, but who can tell where a war will strike? Nowadays, it is fully imaginable that the Enemy decides to knock out the fresh water reserves first in order to bring the population to its knees. This is why Puritabs was invented; we are, after all, surrounded by water in lakes, rivers and ponds. This water, however, is probably infested with God knows what particles and animals, and it just might be a good idea to clean it. As the cleaning possibilities during a raging war surely are limited, the "water cleaning pill" was invented. You put in the special pill in say a liter of water, wait some fifteen minutes, and WOOPS the water is ready to drink. I bet you have seen it in the Vietnam movies, but have you really tasted it? 2 Puritab pills were dissolved in 0.7 litres of water, which then was poured up into three glasses. I drank mine, and then I forced S.Duvan and ToJ to do the same with their glasses. This is how the whole thing turned out. ˙˙02˙Puh˙ ˙00 ˙˙01- (out of competition) I have almost started to like this. Palatable enough for hardened sergeants, insipid enough for weak civilians. (No, I am not affected at all by my time in the Swedish Army.) Reminds me of terrible days in the forest, though. I guess you could survive on this water, especially if it is cold. No hit cooking soups on it, though. ˙˙02˙ToJ˙ ˙00 ˙˙01It's no doubt it smelled funny. You know, the smell that flushes over you when you enter a public swimming hall. Dense, choking, as if it was about to suffocate you. Anyway, having felt the smell of it for about one hour before the very test was to begin one was a bit nervous - and it wasn't a good start either looking at Puh grinning. A few minutes later it was over. I must admit I felt somewhat dizzy afterwards, but I'm not sure whether it was an effect of the Puritabs. However, drinking the water was no big deal, but the somewhat strange taste in your mouth afterwards is a bit irritating. ˙˙02˙S.Duvan˙ ˙00 ˙˙01Hmm. What an idea to drink this water smelling of chlorine. Though, luckily enough it tasted better than it smelled. I bet nobody likes having a taste of public pool in his mouth. All I can say is that I hope we never will have to use those pills. Nevertheless, I have to wonder. Was this a scientific test? And if so, what should our conclusions be? Is science defined my meta axioms unknown to us. As scientific experiments are interpreted with "laws" which basicly are axioms, are there any axioms that defines what we would call an axiom? If so, will we ever be able to find out the meaning of those axioms. Will science be redefined? Man has a new mountain to climb. ˙01
