Fortunately there aren't many Hg wells. 162.158.134.243 18:05, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

The only ones that existed are gone now, although they did survive an alien attack. P?sych??otic?pot??at???o (talk) 01:46, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

FYI: the "Random" button currently seems to be broken. 162.158.154.244 18:08, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Aaaaaaaaaand it's back again. huh. 162.158.159.5 18:15, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

The similarity with C&H is a bit superficial. Baby humans instinctively drink from their mother's breast, baby calves go to cow udders, and the similarity between the two fluids is pretty obvious. So it's not as random as drinking whatever clear liquid you find underground. Barmar (talk) 19:15, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

While your logic does make sense on the surface, once you actally aply it.... the similarity between animals mating and humans is pretty obvious.... We stop drinking milk from our mothers as a child and drinking it again is considered very strange, so it would be even more strange to start drinking a different "mothers" milk. -- Apollo11 (talk) 22:39, 28 October 2024 (UTC)) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

It's the same with the joke about eggs, if predators eat them, it's not far-fetched to think we might be able to as well 141.101.98.104

Seriously though, how did people discover wells? Some internet says from animals that dig for water, but it's still impressive 141.101.98.104

Maybe we need a category for "stuff that seems like it should not work"? I can recall 2540: TTSLTSWBD, 2775: Siphon, 2115: Plutonium. Anything else? 172.70.86.22 10:21, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
