Help ban dangerous Dihydrogen Monoxide!

[Ian David]

What is Dihydrogen Monoxide?

Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the unstable radical Hydroxide, the components of which are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

For more detailed information, including precautions, disposal procedures and storage requirements, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for Dihydrogen Monoxide.

Should I be concerned about Dihydrogen Monoxide?

Yes, you should be concerned about DHMO! Although the U.S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and saccharine), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful.

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.

A similar study conducted by U.S. researchers Patrick K. McCluskey and Matthew Kulick also found that nearly 90 percent of the citizens participating in their study were willing to sign a petition to support an outright ban on the use of Dihydrogen Monoxide in the United States.

1. Even worse, as W. C. Fields so pithily observed,...

...fish fuck in it.

[Richardo]

5. Best possible response

:applause:

[Richardo]

2. Not again.

3. I had my tap water tested for that stuff.

I couldn't believe how much Dihydrogen Monoxide they found in it. And the city is doing nothing about it!

[Spiffarino]

4. That was so frightening my mouth dried up.

And yet I dare not drink!

8. I can't believe they sell this shit in stores

You don't even need a license to buy it. To make it worse, there are no age restrictions! I have seen children walk into a store, purchase DHMO, and the cashier not even bat an eye.

9. It's Been Detected In All Rivers and Lakes

Really sad.

[valerief]

11. But its effects are mitigated by hands-on healing, I understand.

And vigils to Virgin Mary-stained buildings.

20. Mitigate? You kidding? Hands actually contain it. :shocked:

Don't let 'em touch you.

And, like your mother said, don't put your fingers in your mouth.

[Celebration]

12. This is sooooo, like vintage 2002 n/t

[NMDemDist2]

13. but I hear that was an excellent year for Dihydrogen Monoxide!

:hide:

[valerief]

15. It's been published. For centuries. It must be real. nt

[Hawkeye-X]

14. Not this shit again.

H2O, people?

Hawkeye-X

[valerief]

16. Don't break our magic spell. nt

[Hawkeye-X]

17. Pthbt. When I see that..

Oh no, not the water hoax.

Hawkeye-X

[valerief]

18. But we know what it is and yet we still choose to "believe." Join us.

Believe in the magic.

It's got studies.

19. Some city council actually passed a law to make it illegal.

They were pretty pissed when they found out they'd been had.

21. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT-

In order to better protect the public, I've posted this link to an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for DHMO. For the sake of your family, print this out, study with other family members, and post it next to your first-aid kit, duct tape, and plastic sheeting!!!

23. They left out it can cause shrinkage

By far the worst side effect imaginable.Just ask George.

[xchrom]

22. kick

[SidDithers]

24. I sell Homeopathic DHMO...

contact me if you want to buy some.

25. Is it magnetized, as well? eom

[SidDithers]

26. Not only is it magnetized...

but I can unconditionally guarantee that, if taken properly, it will cause no adverse side effects.
