The quote used for the title comes from Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and is somewhat misquoted. The poem is The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, a poem most of us had to read in high school. The actual phrase goes:
“Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink."
While the ancient mariner was bemoaning the fact that he was at sea without drinkable water since the water was salt water, the author of the poem didn't realize how true that statement would be for "modern" times.
