BAN DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE!

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.

Dihydrogen monoxide:

* is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
* contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
* may cause severe burns.
* contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
* accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
* may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
* has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Contamination is reaching epidemic proportions!

Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

* as an industrial solvent and coolant.
* in nuclear power plants.
* in the production of styrofoam.
* as a fire retardant.
* in many forms of cruel animal research.
* in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
* as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.

All very true, but I believe you've forgotten that dihydrogen monoxide, even by itself, can be a very strong cleaning agent, and is used as such in everyday life. I think more people need to be aware of the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide. Everybody must read this thread, and be alert.

True, but even in that case, a recent study has found that over 95% of American School children under the age of 13 have a significant amount of DHMO in their bloodstream, and the figures show little chance of it stopping in the near future.

Out of curiousity, was this study conducted recently enough to have been after George W Bush took over the Presidency? If so, it speaks volumes about his character, that he hasn't done anything about this.

AFAIK, the study was done during his Presidency; but the effects were significantly noted both before and after; so it's not a direct result of anything he's done.

Damn, thanks for the warning.

A petition should be started! If everyone that plays CoX is a part of it it will surely count for something, especially if each of us then spread the word around and end up inspiring thousdands and thousands of people. We shall start a riot of the streets of England! Or Europe in general.

Remember, the dangers of DMHO are real and inhalation has been proven to be fatal in most cases.

Especially when you realise that DMHO's regular formulae is H20. *grins* I can't take credit for this as it was originally done by Nathan Zohner, a 14-year-old student at Eagle Rock Junior High School in Idaho Falls in 1997, but full credit to producing something so factual (All the above claims are true if you think on them) yet amusing. Hence posting it in Creative.

The British Government has already set up a Regulatory System to prevent overuse of DHMO, so be careful if travelling abroad.

But...Weasel, you mix DMHO with 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine every morning!

Well I just managed to use this to cause a panic in my office at work. Some people have actually asked me to see if I can find more about it so they can eliminate it from theie diet.

Some people are so stupid. Still it livens up a friday afternoon.

Heh. I prefer to mix DMHO with CH3 - (CH2)n - CO2 - Na2+ every day, but whatever floats your boat...

You should say water that doesnt come from the mountains contains it. Have you ever had potatoes? That many? Then im afraid its too late. Although that may be a bit harsh
