BAN DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE!

juncmodule · Wed 05/05/2004 02:31:20

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:

Ã,Â a.. is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
Ã,Â b.. contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
Ã,Â c.. in its gaseous state it may cause severe burns.
Ã,Â d.. contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
Ã,Â e.. accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
Ã,Â f.. may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
Ã,Â g.. 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:

Ã,Â a.. as an industrial solvent and coolant.
Ã,Â b.. in nuclear power plants.
Ã,Â c.. in the production of styrofoam.
Ã,Â d.. as a fire retardant.
Ã,Â e.. in many forms of cruel animal research.
Ã,Â f.. in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
Ã,Â g.. 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.

Yes, yes. H2O. Water.

Sorry, been having a serious rant in another thread, felt like being flip.

Wow, that sounds like nasty stuff!

I can't believe they put it in food.

This actually nearly made US law, before someone realised how dumb it was.

And it's in the Guardian, so it must be true!

I wonder if you might have read my post at elysiun? Just a weird coincedence?

Gilbert · Wed 05/05/2004 02:54:22

* Gilbot V7000a needs to get rid of his own body and swidth to a (even) more robotic one, to get rid of DHMO, which contributes most part of his current body!

We must also invent machines using nano technology to avoid the natural formation of DHMO!

I don't get the "natural formation" bit.. it exists naturally, but it isn't naturally formed (on Earth). That happens only when you burn hydrogen + oxygen. Otherwise it just cycles through its different forms.

Gilbert · Wed 05/05/2004 03:09:27

Heh shouldn't chemical reactions within animal bodies, mixing acids with alkali, etc. be considered natural.

Well natural is an ambigorous word...

shbaz · Wed 05/05/2004 03:43:55

That is indeed natural, but they don't chemically produce water.. they just mix it with other substances and the output isn't pure water.

Gilbert · Wed 05/05/2004 03:48:08

Heh who said "pure" ?

Some people just don't know how to have fun. :'(

Ashen · Wed 05/05/2004 03:55:16

Read the other thread (what....mad), this IS fun. Sorry to spoil your fun so soon, but it looks like everyone else was on to ya anyway.

LGM · Wed 05/05/2004 04:02:00

You almost fooled me. Till I realised it was H20... bah... I fell for it.. I feel stupid.

juncmodule · Wed 05/05/2004 04:03:08

Ashen: I don't like you.

earlwood · Wed 05/05/2004 04:06:31

I read the title and thought, " think I need that stuff to not die" but I read anyways and was almost fooled.

Ashen · Wed 05/05/2004 04:07:59

Hope that's sarcasm, 'cause I actually quite like YOU. Trust me, I grow on you. Like a rash.

TerranRich · Wed 05/05/2004 05:11:07

Hah. pretty funny stuff.

And LGM, you're a dumbass.

Shut up, dude... you're scaring me...

EDIT:
Ooh-ha-ha...

You had me fooled... yoooooooooo bastard.....

Go get Hydrogen Peroxide and have some fun. Trust me, kids, there are a lot of fun things you can do with this stuff. You can bleach your hair, your beard, your eyebrows, your chest hair, back hair, your asshair, ball hair and even your pubic hair. Of coarse, doing your lower regions may leave you tingling for the rest of the day.

LGM · Wed 05/05/2004 13:59:59

Hydrogen Peroxide is good.. But why don't they call it Hydrogen Dioxide? It's forumla is just H202, right??

RIGHT??
