I really am going to have to put this whole thing into a thread, since there are a lot of coincidences going on here.
The water in Gaia is weird. This starts way back when (and I mentioned this in another thread just yesterday), after Gambino gets some samples from Durem Reclamation Facility that will help forward the research at the SUTF, which developed the G Virus. The G Virus is notorious for, "a dramatic drop in brain activity at the expense of cellular regeneration."
However, it's also true that the Vial of Unknown Liquid, from LabTechX, also comes from G CORP. So it's possible that the G Virus was developed from the Durem waters, or that a combination of the pre-existing G Virus and the waters from Durem created the Unknown Liquid that reverses the effects of zombieism and grombieism alike.
As an aside here, Gino's massive hair growth was put down by Jakobo at a conference to be a result of the sea around the Isle De Gambino - some may remember a few Magical Puberty Water threads from way back in the day.
Later, when LabTechX injects Gino with something else green, it causes Gino's cells to alter themselves again, making for a very large arm that grabs the giant of a man. LabTechX then yells, "It's time to end this once and for all," and is next seen beside Gino (it's unclear whether Gino pulled or X lunged forward), pushing him backwards off of the cliffs.
The News report mentions that, "We can only speculate that the energy blast released by the cataclysmic duel with LabTech X somehow seperated Johnny and Gino into two distinct beings once more. The exact cause of this event remains shrouded in mystery..."
Now, Gino and Johnny don't seperate immediately. The blast occurs... when Gino hits the water (though he does crackle quite a bit beforehand). This potentially indicates a reaction between the mutating Gino, and the water outside of Barton Cliffs.
If LabTechX lunged at Gino - note that the 'end this once and for all' comes after he's already injected Gino - he may have been trying to push him off the cliff. If so, it might have been that X was intentionally trying to get Gino to hit the water, knowing the reaction would occur.
Finally we get to the ZURG. The Energy Drink alters Gaians to turn them into ZURG. But how, interestingly, do we return into 'normal' Gaians? With Red Bino, an energy drink made from a fish, a creature that constantly lives in - and therefore must adapt to - water, caught at the Port of Gambino. So now we have two liquids that return Gaians to a Gaian state after being affected by something that changes their cells, both of which are potentially based in the waters of Gaia.

So, all in all, we have three distinct cases involving transformations that apparently involve the water of Gaia. And an Admin saying that hair growth comes from the later nicknamed, "Magical Puberty Water."
Out of context coincidences used to fuel a conspiracy theory, or evidence of a correlation?
