How about a NON-double talk explanation of the water that flowed from Christ's side at the cross?

I remember a pastor once gave a sermon about the water that flowed from Christ's side. That pastor spent about 45 minutes saying "Well, uhh, I don't really know, but it could be maybe a disease or phenomena that a person's sweat could possibly mix with their blood when they get nervous, either that or maybe something similar, but, uhh, scholars don't know for sure or really have any explanation,...and on and on and on for 45 minutes.
