Maybe they were thinking there’d be some illiterate chemists around.
Must have found that one over at the department of redundancy department …
Well, it’s CORRECT, at least. It could have been D2O or T2O water at a nuclear facility, in which case, it probably would have been best to leave it alone. ;)
That’s better than the “H2O2 water,” which has a nasty aftertaste and turns your hair a funny color.
Is that a Samuel Taylor Coleridge reference?
[GD – educate me…]
Ah… sorry. Coleridge was an 18th century English poet, and the “H20 water” sign seemed to me redundant (“water water”)… but it brought to mind a couple of stanzas from the Rime of the Ancient Mariner: (his most famous work, other than Kubla Khan)
“Water water everywhere, And all the boards did shrink
Water water everywhere, Nor any drop to drink”
I know. Pretty obscure… but that’s what your picture brought to mind.
As opposed to the other kind of water, of course.
