not to mention the fact that Japanese scientists are convinced the Earth's mantle contains 5 times as much water as the surface...

Molten rocks deep in the earths interior may be surprisingly wet, Japanese researchers say.

The Japanese experiments don't guarantee that that's the case, of course, because the researchers haven't actually measured the mantle. No one is ever likely to get a direct sample of material from the fiery mantle itself. But by simulating mantle-like conditions in the lab, Murakami and his colleagues have demonstrated that a water-rich inner Earth is plausible.
