Britain the new Prozac nation? Apparently, significant levels of Prozac has been found in Britain's drinking water. I'm jealous.

  • I'm not really worried about this news. In fact, I'm fairly upbeat.
  • I wish I was in Britain's drinking water. It's damn hot today.
  • quidnunc, I am sensing a distinct trend in your commentary today. Would you like some ice-tea, maybe with a nice little paper umbrella in it? More relevently, there are some other things in the drinking water that might also worry you.
  • dear ilyadeux: yes, please. I am hot!
  • In light of ilyadeux's second paragraph and link, I am slightly worried about you, quid. :)
  • See also: Texas.
  • Don't worry, there's a bourgeois solution to this that will allow us to ignore the larger problem for another generation or two (or transfer the problem to a lower class, take your pick) - bottled water. Thanks capitalism!
  • quidnunckid - get into the shower with your clothes on and get them really wet. Then go sit somewhere where your jeans won't cause inside puddles until you feel better. I usually do this in a nightgown, let it drip for a while, then go to bed while it's still slightly damp, but my spidey senses tell me that you don't have any pajamas that you could do the same with. If I'm wrong, cotton pj's are perfect for this. Or, are we all worrying about the wrong meaning of "hot." Even if that's true, I think my prescription could work.
  • The US would benefit greatly from Prozac in its water.
  • Oh yeah, and it's nice and cool here tonight.
  • MonkeyFilter: The wrong meaning of "hot"
  • "Ah, bollocks, the tap's dry, mate." "Mmh, well, lucky me, got me some yankee beans here to help us out..."
  • Monkeyfilter: I'm not really worried about this. News?
  • Well, that's a relief. So the frogs that threw themselves against my apartment window last night weren't a halucination. And the minnows that crawled into my kitchen up the drain probably aren't safe to eat... unless I'd like to go crawling up kitchen drains myself, right?
