Only those who speak English would (maybe) agree.

I don't believe in this alleged "towel". I think only the Illuminaughty use towels! Air drying is how the Church Fathers dried off, that should be good enough for "real" Christians!

My strawman caught on fire though. But when I threw dry ice on him the fire went out! That must mean that dry ice is made of water after all! |

No it means that the carbondioxide released by the dry ice displaces the oxygen needed for the fire. So it's still dry dry ice . |

How does that work? Carbon dioxide contains oxygen, right? So how come that isn't enough? I think you're trying to trick me. |
