TG, a certain 15 year old (with a cool website), had this to say about it:

Yes! Of course, the logical counter-argument is that since there were times in the history of the earth were all water existed as a gas, it could be argued as well that they have not yet recovered from being too hot.
Isn't it ironic when people are wrong even if their basic assumptions were correct?
Not to mention that really many water molecules are quite new because of photosynthetic and respiratory reactions.
Or do the hydrogen ions and oxygen molecules have memories as well?
And all the electrons?
Not to mention that those molecules are later used to create Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Ozone, and thousands of other compounds that contain oxygen or hydrogen. Clearly we are all on the point of being deep-frozen.
