What body of water joins 2 bodies of water?
A "strait" is a body of water which is not only situated between two areas of land, but joins two bodies of water. For example, Bass Strait lies between the Australian mainland and the island state of Tasmania, and joins the Tasman Sea and the Great Southern Ocean.
Drinking water has cloudy air bubbles and not tasty?
The very least you need to do immediately is to start boiling your drinking, cooking and dish rinse water. The taste may not improve, but the safety of your water supply certainly will. A great tip from Tropical Fish care. Let your water rest, in a large glass container, for at least a week, before drinking. Also, discard the bottom inch of the container water, or use it at the kitchen sink. The fish are sensitive to chemicals and impurities. Tap water can kill them, but that same water if rested, is safe for their aquarium. No explanation why. It must have to do with the fact that, every time you turn on the tap, you are stirring up the pressurized water being released. Natural water has solid materials in it and thus is cloudy, even slightly. Municipal water treatment is to add alum to clear up any cloudiness ( chemical treatment to improve appearance, not taste or quality ). Most likely, the municipal water supply is cracked or broken underground somewhere, introducing impurities and air. Rarely, the water filtration plant is overworked and, even only occasionally, pumping substandard potable water. In a city which I shall not name, at a mid-level management workshop I was conducting, during a free-for-all discussion, every manager insisted the city water supply was SAFE -- high quality control standards. Yet, strangely, each and every one admitted to subscribing to a bottled water supplier for home delivery. You figure it out !
What levels of uranium in drinking water are considered harmful?
I have been doing some research and according to Wikipedia Uranium is damaging to the kidneys causing Kidney failure and Uranium is also a toxic metal which makes it not good to breath uranium. Is uranium in drinking water safe? I think definitely not because it is a toxic metal and it is not good for the body and causes kidney problems. so "NO" ---------- All the drinking waters have uranium in small concentration, some micrograms to liter. Drinking waters suppliers or other national authorities mention the maximum permitted level of uranium or general radioactivity in water.

In the wild, most will drink from any available source such as droplets on vegetation or the ground, and from early morning or evening dew that has condensed on their webs. For those kept in captivity, it is a good idea to provide a fresh water source such as a small bottle cap or damp sponge for smaller species, or a small dish for larger species such as tarantulas.
Incidentally, spiders' need to quench their thirst seems to have given rise to the myth that they live in drains. When a spider is in a building, an excellent source of water is droplets left from taps and showers around the plugholes and sink edges. Needless to say, spiders remain trapped in the sink or bath because the sides are too slippery or steep for them to climb.
Like all other animals, spiders require a regular intake of water. Different species use different methods to quench their thirst. For example, the whistling spider, found in the desert, covers its 1-metre-long burrow with a thin layer of silk to keep it humid. Dew or the occasional raindrop is captured using a low, silk-covered mound near the entrance. Many other species such as the wolf spider opt for a much simpler strategy by drinking dewdrops in the morning. Some spiders even ingest nectar.
"Species such as the wolf spider opt for the simple strategy of drinking morning dewdrops."
Many spiders, such as the common garden spider, will devour their web first thing in the morning. In doing this, they consume the water that has condensed as dew droplets on the web. Other spiders such as the whip spider can use their pincers to take water into their mouths.
"The common garden spider devours its web in the morning, consuming the condensation."
The black widow or the red back do not drink water at all. They get all the fluid they need from the juice sucked out of their prey. Tarantulas, on the other hand, like to drink water droplets that have collected on nearby leaves and foliage.
A few winters ago I watched a spider just outside my kitchen window as a small snowflake landed on its web. Normally a spider does not react to the presence of something in its web unless it struggles, so I was surprised to see the spider run to the snowflake. By the time it arrived, the snowflake had melted into a droplet of water and the spider gave every appearance of drinking it. The spider's head was at the droplet, and the droplet dwindled away to nothing.
The Australian naturalist Densey Cline once reported a remarkable case of a spider drinking water. She awoke to find the shrivelled body of a dead huntsman spider lying on her bedside table, and in her glass of water was an astonishingly long parasitic worm. She speculated that the mature parasite required water to complete its life cycle and had driven the infected spider to the nearest source of water by inducing a terrible thirst.

Yes, but only in ridiculous quantities, far more than you could drink. It would cause the cells in your body to over saturate and actually explode, in theory.

Should you use a water or air-soluble fabric-marking pen?
Some say the air solible pens are the best, unless you live in an especially humid area or gets lots of rain. Then the marks can disappear very quickly; even while you're working. Some people still prefer chalk pencils. ANSWER: The answer depends on the project and the fabric. Will you be finishing the project quickly or will it be finished over a period of time? "Air Soluble" means they will disappear without any help from any other agent besides air. Air is everywhere so, in a very short time, the marks will vanish. Also, please read the brochure before using the marker because some of the marks might become permanent if ironed. The water soluble markers are nice to use because they do hang around for extended periods but, again, read the directions before using them. With any sewing aid, do a test on scarp fabric before use.
