Title: Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide!
Post by: ARTgames on April 26, 2010, 07:17:00 PM
Quote from: http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/dhmo.htmThe Invisible Killer

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 hydroxyl 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 Horror Must Be Stopped!

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.

It's Not Too Late!
Act NOW to prevent further contamination. Find out more about this dangerous chemical. What you don't know can hurt you and others throughout the world. Send email to no_dhmo@circus.com, or a SASE to:

BTW Dihydrogen Monoxide is another word for water. propaganda at its finest.
This is a tragedy!

It's a pretty old conversation that has many Youtube videos addressing how many people are stupid enough to believe that water is harmful. I don't really think it's worth a topic. :|

Anyways, it'd be nice to go around to a random town and question people to see if they know about it.

sly 3 4 me, thanks for stoping the fun. :P The point of the topic was to see how many people i could get to ban water. (as i said in my text under the quote 'wink wink') As like those you tube videos.

I'm hoping everyone on this forum is old enough to know as to what water is in terms of molecules, lol. Also, my screen brightness is set high. I didn't notice your white text underneath the quote box.  :P

I like the part about withdrawal effects of those who are dependent on it.

I fail. And here I thought I was smart. Artgames, I hate you for proving me wrong.

Jack, you IDIOT!!!!

I think it's hilarious after reading it through after seeing the truth...

Nah, never had him :/
It was a female.. but I forget her name... lol

Also, I vote "ban it", just for fun :)
Then the world can die from dehydration & many other things!

Well if you want to kill all these bitches quicker just ban Nitrogen. That shit is wayyy more important than water.

I think this topic is offensive to people with severe allergies to water. Making light of this only makes the problem worse.

I think this topic is offensive to those who have allergies to humor. Making light of the situation only makes it worse.

I don't mean you, lingus.

I haven't had chemistry in a few years so I had to think about this about this one for a couple minutes, haha. But I remember it now, dihydrogen monoxide = H2O.


I lol'd a bit whenever I read the part about it being used as a fire retardant.  :P
