http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?StoryID=20060827-035413-2575r Residents find corpse in water tower YONGHE CITY, Taiwan, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- Residents of a complex in Youghe City, Taiwan, stopped drinking the water after they found the body of a man in the building's water tower, police say. The residents decided to check the rooftop water tower after noticing their drinking water smelled unusual and looked cloudy over the past few days, The Taipei Times reports. Police say they believe the 27-year-old man had been in the water tower for at least three days. The 20 families living in the building were horrified they might have been drinking contaminated water, and immediately stopped using tap water after the corpse was discovered. No one reported any illness, the Times said. Police believe the man accidentally fell into the 10-foot-high tower while under the influence of drugs. Prosecutors will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death. > http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/view.php?StoryID=20060827-035413-2575r > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Prosecutors will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death. H2...uh-oh! That's just another reason not to drink the water while overseas. Stuff your suitcase with bottled water.

A good reson to demand clean water to drink!

LOL! But wasn't that water tower used for the steam engines? If that is the case, I am quite sure that they could pee in there (like the dead guy did in the water tower and other things, no doubt), and it wouldn't matter.

I realize we're talking about a fictional TV show, but the water tank they swam in at Petticoat Junction was total overkill for that one little steam engine. No REAL railroad would waste money building a tank that big to service ONE engine. It was simply an excuse to show three hot chicks in bathing suits. :) > "Jeff" <jeff@hotmail.com> said in misc.consumers: > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > tank that big to service ONE engine.

In the intro sequence, the dresses hanging over the side provided the clear implication that they were supposed to be skinny-dipping in there. In Real Life, the water towers I have seen didn't have any place to stand on the inside- if you climbed in, unless you dropped a rope or had a spotter, getting out was problematical. They ain't big hot tubs. aem sends... <aemeijers@att.net> said in misc.consumers: >> I realize we're talking about a fictional TV show, but the water tank >> they swam in at Petticoat Junction was total overkill for that one [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >hanging over the side provided the clear implication that they were supposed >to be skinny-dipping in there. Well, my fuzzy memory is telling me that there were one or two shows which actually showed them swimming in that tank. IIRC, they wore very modest (yet form-flattering) one-piece bathing suits. > > "Jeff" <jeff@hotmail.com> said in misc.consumers: > > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > dropped a rope or had a spotter, getting out was problematical.

No wonder why Arnold never wrote back! aemeijers@att.net wrote: > > "Jeff" <jeff@hotmail.com> said in misc.consumers: > > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > dropped a rope or had a spotter, getting out was problematical.

I don't recall Mr. Ziffel and pig ever showing up out at the hotel. Sam Drucker was the only regular crossover character (that I recall) after they spun G.A. off from the original. aem sends, remembering the TV as (almost) my only childhood friend.....
