But, my dear Kalimac, it IS water!!! Way to go! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

As for the "not found in a lie," that's an approximate way of using the idiom "doesn't hold water." Sorry if that was really confusing.

Thanks, all, for saying it was a good, tough riddle--I made it up myself! It did take a while, though; actually, I thought up the three middle lines while I was in the shower. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Well, maybe I'll start working on another. Oh, boy! This is fun!
