I'm firmly on the side of "water is not wet" in this debate, but it's a question that I was asked while I was high and have no answer to it. Water cannot itself be wet because you can't get water on water. However, what is a fish in a lake? It can't be wet until it's taken out of the water, but it's not dry either. Is it something else?

So what if I take a bunch of water and pour some water on it? Have I made wet water?

    Does adding rocks to a rock make it rockier, or harder? Does it become a rocky rock?
