It’s March 22.

Today is “World Day for Water” Do you ingest** enough water daily?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   Only 3% of the world’s water can be used as drinking water, because 97% of the world’s water is salt water. 

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.”  --Mitch Hedberg (American comedian)

**Vocabulary Word of the Day:  ingest (verb) – here’s a fancy action word that can be used when you mean to take food or drink into the body by swallowing or absorbing it.  Gest- is the Latin root meaning move or movement, and it ended up in a lot of words: ingest (to move water into the body), digest (to move it through the body), congestion (a state where movement is slowed), etc.  Can you think of five other movement words with the root gest in them?
