Probably needs a couple of chakra crystals dipped in it and some whale song played nearby just to be 100% sure. B2003

Of course not! You are just being silly. Any ordinary, run-of-the-mill sterilised stick will do, provided you stir the water with the correct number of rotations (so many turns clockwise, followed immediately by so many turns anticlockwise). -- Ian
