Be on the look out for
...

Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

Despite the known dangers of DHMO, it continues to be used daily by industry, government, and even in private homes across the U.S. and worldwide. Some of the well-known uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

* as an industrial solvent and coolant,
* in nuclear power plants,
* by the U.S. Navy in the propulsion systems of some older vessels,
* by elite athletes to improve performance,
* in the production of (polystyrene),
* in biological and chemical weapons manufacture,
* as a spray-on fire suppressant and retardant...

Surely something like this should not be in easy reach of the average citizen. Don't you think it would be a good ida to write to your local politician and urge them to have this banned?

lol that's water

Osborn F Enready · Sep 14, 2007, 11:56 am

No, we should not ban water.

SoylentGreen · Sep 14, 2007, 04:03 pm

The information in the OP was sent to one of our MP's who then contacted the drug administration board asking them if they had set in motion any plans to ban Dihydrogen monoxide.
I thought it funny.
Perhaps you could copy this and email it to your politicians and see how bright they are.

1. If a rooster laid an egg on a roof top would the egg roll towards the left or to the right side of the roof?

2. How many of each kinds of animals did Moses have on the Ark?

3. If an airplane crashed on the boarderline between Canada and the USA would you burry the survivers in the USA or in Canada?

4. If you got lost in the woods and a snow storm stopped you from walking out, but you found a cabin contianing a fireplace with wood, a oil lamp with oil, a wood burning stove with wood in it, and a long candle ... but you had only one match to use, what would be the most logical thing to light first?

5. If you were in a house with a southern exposure on all sides and a bear tried to break in, what color would that bear be?

See if you can pass the Techno I.Q. test. (answers will be supplied later).

Those are all the right answers. According to that "supervisors I.Q. test" you are a person who pays attention to details. An important factor.

Or else you took the test before and now know the answers.

The original test had about 20 questions but those are the only ones i still recall.

oh yeah! If there were three apples and you took away two, how many apples would you have?

normally 3 - 2 = 1. But as you ALREADY KNOW if you take two apples you have two apples. Right.

I wonder how many people we could get to believe that dihydrogen monoxide should be banned?

That depends pretty much on which group of enviro-whackos you ask to sign your petition.

As you were.

Oh heck yes, we should test the imfamous George W. Bush. xD

It wasn't a smart idea to see if we noticed that it's water though. If you wanted a laugh, you have to find a place intellectuals don't usually hang out. Riiiight? :]

ZNFYRH · Sep 26, 2007, 09:47 am

Try getting on an airplane or into a Six Flags amusement park with a large bottle of water.

It's already banned in those places.
