when he's underwater does he get wet? or does the water get him, instead?

Nobody knows

It took this post and recent bio classes to realize that this line refers to the hydrophilic nature of water molecules, so the reason it is a question if he gets wet underwater, is because a water molecule can't get wet, as it's water, and even if he isn't a water molecule, they're attracted to all particles including other water molecules, so the water would definitely get him.
