Q: When I make ice cubes out of distilled water, a stalagmite appears at the center of each cube, pointing upward like a handle. This doesn't happen with tap water. Why?

Submitted by Tom Goldsborough from Iowa City, IA

A: You probably have amoebic contamination of your distilled water supply. Those little handles may be the sex organs of a protozoa, paramecium, or even Giardia. For heaven$$s sake, don't use them in mixed drinks. Tap water in most cities is so full of caustic chemicals that even though these parasites are still present, they're dead. I filter my tap water through a reverse osmosis screen, then run it by a proton beam and, finally, distil it in a perfect vacuum. Still, it often tastes like swimming pool water, and leaves a scale on the coffee maker. Lower your standards and close your eyes when you drink. That's the easiest solution.
