First paragraph:
'Even our brains are 80% water, making them more liquid than blood.'
Shouldn't this read 'more liquid than solid'? Blood is liquid. tongueout

Third paragraph (The Memory Of Water):
'However, the physical and chemical properties of the compound, H2O, are extraordinary complicated.'
extraordinary -> extraordinarily.

I think that, rather than saying the brain consists of more water than it does blood, the author was making a comparison. That is, the brain is more liquid than blood, it has a higher percentage of water in it.
Interesting article. I enjoyed it.
