Now I’m a believer

Humor

I used to think homeopathy was a crock, but I’ve devised a test that proves it’s pretty accurate.

I took water and diluted it to 1/1,000,000 its original strength and it still maintained it’s ability to quench thirst.

You were supposed to dilute it with a 80:20 mixture of nitrogen:oxygen. You probably used dihydrogen oxide by mistake, and the pharmacological activity of the vehicle is confounding your experiment.

And that dihydrogen oxide is dangerous stuff. I think the concentration camp guards in WWII were given a daily ration of it, and who knows what it was used for.

You forgot a crucial part of the process. Every time you dilute your one part of source water with ten parts of additional water you must shake the mixture ten times up and down. That will obviously change the result. The water remembers.

Your test is not valid.

Try diluting it with C2H5OH, works wonders!

That is kind of a weak dilution, but I'd argue that it didn't work. A homeopathic preparation is supposed to flip the effect of the "active" ingredient (ie make you thirstier).

Jani is right, you have to shake it.

Andrew Sarchus is right too, you are suppose to get the opposite effect. Dilute poison ivy down to the point where it's doubtful that a swimming pool amount even has any of the original toxin, an they say it will cure the rash even better at that point, (but only if you shake it)

LibertyNews is right too. I would suggest gin and vermouth. Also, drink several. I promise you will be dehydrated the next day, even if you stir rather than shake it.
