Water flowing from a 100-year-old tree in San Antonio:

[jread]

I find this fascinating, especially with the drought conditions in this area of Texas right now. I would really like to know how this is happening and where the water is coming from. I would LOVE to have a tree that provided clear water 24/7. I'd have it rigged up to water the lawn and I'd start bottling it as a novelty item

I agree. They're probably going to soak up the media attention first, though. Who knows, maybe people from all over the world will come to drink from it for its magical powers. Has the Fountain of Youth been discovered? Wow... there would actually be something *good* about San Antonio, lol.

I can see the headline now: "Mysterious tree water is most powerful carcinogen known to man."

You know how everyone used to read their kids fables when they grew up, so that humanity as a whole would have an oral record of "dumb sh!t to avoid doing in the future"?

Well...we shouldn't have stopped.

Somebody stuck a hose at the other end of the tree, dumbass.

They're tears from the baby Jesus, who is crying because he's upset that we don't have enough faith in the Lord, and that we must accept Him as our Savior.

Or... they not...

Her son doesn't believe the cause of the streaming water is anything holy or religious.
"I ain't with that superstitious stuff," Lloyd Pope said.
There's no crying Mary here."

How come the water coming from the tree isn't sold in gross amounts on e-Bay yet?

You spoiled it! You should have contacted them and asked to represent the tree!

Root system most likely tapped into a spring.

 

[Evadman]

Without looking at all, my first guess is that a root pierced a water pipe.

 

[waggy]

[imported_LoKe]

Wait, wait. The Pope has a magical tree that makes water?

That has to be in the bible somewhere. =D

"If it is a burst pipe, their monthly bill would be enormous," he said. "It would definitely be reflected in their bill."
