Dihydrogen Monoxide: a Hidden Threat

Do YOU know about the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide?

You don't? Well, shame on you! Dihydrogen Monoxide is an odorless, colorless chemical compound. Accidental inhalation of this dastardly substance killed over 3,200 people in the United States in 2000 alone! Inhaling it is one of the leading causes of death in all age categories, INCLUDING children! Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns on contact, and prolonged exposure to solid DHMO can damage tissue.

For those known to be addicted to the substance, withdrawal from it means certain death!

This stuff is used as a coolant in nuclear reactors, and here you are, probably consuming it every day! I mean, seriously. Get educated, people!

Go HERE to read a fact sheet all about this dangerous substance.

The most important section from this fact sheet is this:

Research conducted by award-winning U.S. scientist Nathan Zohner concluded that roughly 86 percent of the population supports a ban on dihydrogen monoxide. Although his results are preliminary, Zohner believes people need to pay closer attention to the information presented to them regarding Dihydrogen Monoxide. He adds that if more people knew the truth about DHMO then studies like the one he conducted would not be necessary.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

For those of you reaching this far who are now paranoid about exposure to DHMO: First lesson: Di means two, Mono means one, Oxide means oxygen, and Hydrogen ...well... Means Hydrogen.

Think hard. Still can't figure it out? Don't breed.

:) So 'til next time, rock on.
