I'm still not buying it :-)

If you get your hand wet with common tap water and then stick it in, say, a rubber glove, the water gets re-absorbed back into the cells of your body via osmosis. There are more solutes in your cellular interstitial fluid than there are in the tap water.

Nice parlor trick, but hardly scientific proof.
