Ah yes, I saw that stupid glass. All you idiots were arguing about whether it was half full or half empty. Well, I dropped two of my finest logs in it and now it is overflowing with the glorious brown nectar of the dog. When others see a glass that's half empty, I see something for me to poop on!!!

A: “Not unless round is funny.”
The glass is both half full and half empty. Water is healthy, but so is air, and room at the top to prevent spilling when you carry it is probably a safe standard.
(Similar to water... Proceeds to be unpopular due to lack of exciting flavor.)

The top half of the glass controls 99% of the wealth of oxygen, so we must find a way to redistribute that oxygen to the water, even though physics will not allow that to happen.
Interestingly, the bottom half only appears to have far-less oxygen. Water in fact holds far more oxygen than is obvious by simply looking at it. If you include all dissolved oxygen, and not just bubbles, the water is exactly where it should be in terms of oxygen content.
Ok I'm taking this too far...

ronpaulist the federal reserve has been given unchecked powers to manipulate the level of the water, in secret, behind closed doors, and we need to audit the federal reserve to find out whats really going on with this water level ...

There is a difference between just saying crazy stuff to see how people will react and saying things that might sound crazy, but which actually push the discussion forward.
It sounds like you might know the next definition too:
Opportunist:
One who sees unsettled water after a catastrophic event, entices the water drinkers to go to another destination promising calmer water, sells them new and better water that turns out to be rancid in taste, and then mostly disappears because he no longer values the water drinkers.

Really?
I hope you're kidding.
If not, it may be time to move on to a new investment strategy and new forum.

Water molecularly has ~888 grams of oxygen per liter, while sea level atmosphere has 0.27g. Therefore the water has over 99.9% of the oxygen wealth.

I drink the same water that I sell and it tastes fine to me. (I don't actually sell water, but I do sell a book about a simple water drinking strategy that makes sense to me.)
If you don't like the water, please don't drink it.

Rub, I know how much you value the reassurance of strong leadership. If you feel that this forum no longer offers it to you, I would humbly suggest that you seek it out somewhere else. Nobody deserves to feel miserable when there are plenty of alternative options.

Oh, I don't know about that. Some people seem to enjoy being miserable, so why not let them have what they want?

Reubist:
The glass is half full with the cleanest water one can find, though of course less-than perfect, as all water is... so let's fill it with poison and then blame the water salesman for selling a tainted product.
"Men did not make the earth. It is the value of the improvements only, and not the earth itself, that is individual property. Every proprietor owes to the community a ground rent for the land which he holds."
Other people's glasses have better water, so I'm going to pour out the mineral water in my glass and go fill it up with the special carbonated beverage that everybody else has.
(BTW - this thread just made my day! I can now go back to the long string of pointless emails trying to cajole some dude with a high school diploma that he should maybe do his job for a change. Thanks all for an incredibly imaginative "water glass series". Including Reub.)
bogelheadist 50% water and 50% air is all you need.. people telling you that you need a glass to hold the water in or a table to set it on, are just a bunch of kooky glass bugs living in la. la land.... after all you cant drink the glass..

Nice.
Trumpist part deux:
This glass isn't festive enough. When I'm President, it'll look like wrapping paper and be filled with eggnog and a drop of Edward Snowden's blood. We will be all wishing each other a Merry Christmas, and if you say anything else you'll be arrested (unless its Feliz Navidad, in which case you'll be deported).
"Men did not make the earth. It is the value of the improvements only, and not the earth itself, that is individual property. Every proprietor owes to the community a ground rent for the land which he holds."
Don't worry about the glass or the water. We have more water and more glasses than 99% of the people who have ever lived. There are better things to worry about than how much water is in the glass, though it makes sense to have a safe and simple way of keeping your water and glasses secure.
PPReactionist:
Even though the glass has been holding the water pretty well for 40+ years, it's probably going to break soon and I don't want to be there when it does.
DeluxePPReactionist:
It's a pretty good glass and the water is okay, but one of the guys who works in the glass store likes to make jokes and talk about non-glass related topics to keep things light and it gets on my nerves, so I'm going to start breaking the glasses.

Did Trump make some remarks about Snowden that led you to conclude he'd like to see a drop of his blood in your holiday Egg Nog? Honestly, I haven't been paying that much attention but if he said something like that then he's not getting my vote.
I did see him say something about not being ashamed to say Merry Christmas which is fine with me but if he really thinks anybody who disagrees should be arrested - well, I don't agree with that.

Modaist, part two:
"Forget the glass, Edward Snowden is still referred to as a dangerous criminal and the NSA has unbridled discretion to spy on innocent Americans! Why are we even still discussing this stupid glass and how much water in it? If it doesn't relate to NSA spying or Edward Snowden, who cares!?!?! Anyone who isn't immediately in favor of letting Snowden back in and dismantling the NSA is an evil warmongering neocon fascist!!!!!"

Snowden needs to be placed in a maximum security glass in Florence Colorado. Based on the volume of the glass, when he is in it it will be approximately half-full.

monetaryrealistist the quantity of water is constantly being expanded by way of both the private and public sector creating loans or issuing credit but there will be no inflation because the glass keeps getting bigger too...
