    Water is wet only because that is what the education system has taught you. If the education system would have taught you that all liquids are dry and all solids are wet, then water would be dry.

    It's the same reason that grass is green. It's green because you were told it's green. I may see grass as a colour that you would call purple if you could see through my eyes, but since I have been taught my whole life that the colour I'm seeing in green, I call it green. Everyone thinks that our eyes are processing the information in the same way, but that is not neccesarily true. It's all in waht we have been taught.

    So, is water wet? Only if you allow yourself to believe that it is wet.

    o Low surface tension causes water to cling to your skin

    o Your skin absorbs water

    Thats why it seems wet

    If you touch mercury, which has high surface tension, it wont stick to your skin, so it wont feel wet
