Water

You may have not realized this but the water that we use today is the same water that has always been here; the same water that dinosaurs drank, bathed and swam in.
Next time you drink water, just think how many people, animals, reptiles etc have drank or swam in that same water before you

Judging by the taste of the tap water here, there are still dinosaurs bathing in it.

It's the healthiest, I think, it has the highest fluoride count of any major metropolitan area.

One Oxygen and two Hydrogen atoms. It's kind of strange to know that two gasses combined in the right way can make the liquid that's so important to our survival. But we are all just atoms put together in different ways...

It's only a liquid for a pretty narrow temperature range, otherwise it's a gas or solid. Not really that strange.

actually, that might not be true. O2 and CO2 are broken down during respiration and photosynthesis.

Thats really nasty which is why i built my open Waterworld piss cleaning machine. It works great.
And also a really cool video on Cymatics which has to do with water. Trust me you'll like it.

Actually if you think about it every atom in the universe has been there since the first moments after the big-bang (let's not start a debate about it now, ok?) so part of YOU might have been part of a dinosaur, another person, a dying star, etc etc. Quite an idea uh?
BTW there's an amazing essay about water and other talasogens by Isaac Asimov, from the book "is the electron left-handed?" or something like that, in which he explains why we've only encountered oceans of water and nothing else, very much recommended

unless you hit the triple point,
then H20 is a gas a liquid and a solid all at the same time.

Incorrect. This could perhaps be true of most subatomic particles, but is not true of all atoms. The heavier atoms were created by supernovae.

And that's why I said let's not discuss that right now  Still my point is valid since most heavy elements present in our planet are OLDER than our planet. And also, what percentage of heavy elements are there present in a human body? Exactly.

Actually Manhattan receives it's water from one of the cleanest natural water sources in the USA. This is why the quality of water is technically better in manhattan then you would find in say a town in the midwest. 3 cheers for enviromental geography.

Water has quite an interesting energy against temperature curve.
It's a big V shape with energy needed to create a change going up the left and the temperatue going along the base.
Right in the middle, you only need to add or subtract a very small amount of energy to create a change in it's temperature. To either side of that point you need to start making bigger energy changes to to create the same change in temperature.
Can you guess what the temperature at the bottom of that curve is?
I'll give you a clue, it's ~37C.
