Nope, it was definitely either red or pink originally. It's not about which ones are the best (cos that would be the blue ones). :D
Scientists say water's quirky behavior is caused by the shape of its molecule and by how its molecules bond to one another.
Each water molecule is two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom (H2O). Because of how the atoms share electrons, a water molecule is slightly positively charged at the hydrogen atoms, and slightly negatively charged at the oxygen atom. The molecule's charged ends attract the oppositely charged ends of other water molecules ("hydrogen bonding").
In liquid water, as molecules slip-slide past each other, bonds form, break, and re-form. But by the time water has cooled to 4 C., the molecules' energy has dropped enough that they are very near one another. So each H2O molecule forms more stable hydrogen bonds, with up to four fellow molecules.
By 0 C. (32 F.), the H2O molecules are snappily lined up in a frozen crystal lattice, an open hexagonal (six-sided) shape. Unlike in liquid water, the molecules in ice are held rigidly apart. That means more empty space between molecules, so frozen water occupies more room.
sux to be u said:One thing that has bugged me, when a fence needs to be fixed in between two houses, who pays? Is it half half or is there a rule to 'the owner' of the fence? And does someone simply wanting to upgrade the fence have an effect to this or what?

There isn't even an 'o' in number so where did that come from!? The only thing that springs to mind is the latin term Numero.
Is this where it comes from?
No., "abbreviation for 'number,' " is from It. numero.
