Doesn't get any better than that.

one of the most toxic compounds known to man

Here are some links about dihydrogen monoxide:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_monoxide_h oax

Stroller.

Will we have toxic fumes along the lines of the DEHP that makes vinyl siding your house a public safety risk?

All or nothin' baby, pick a side and write your government reps http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/ cuz they don't care what you post here!

Oxygen is one of the MAIN COMPONENTS of the DEADLY COMPOUND known as DIHIDROGEN MONOXIDE! Why hasn't our government BANNED these substances yet?!

Dihydrogen-Monoxide can help prevent those issues, but it is responsible for thousands of deaths every year!

"Water", or even "mineral oil" doesn't sound as sciency as "glycol" or "isopropynol".

Join the fight against DHMO!

Chilhood obesity? Bad behaviour? Game 'addiction'? The best cure for all the these ailments is a hard fucking slap and being told you get off your ass and get a life.

Better yet, lets just take off every safty label in existance and let the problems with self discipline and stupidity sort itself out.

I estimate that approx 100% of felons have consumed a dangerous pharmaceutical chemical known as Dihydrogen Monoxide shortly before committing crimes. Indeed, this lethal poison is widespread, able to be purhased at many stores without ID, even commonly sold to minors! It contaminates lakes and high concentrations can even be found in the breast milk of mothers who go on to pass the deadly substance onto their newborns.

This evil must be stopped!

I can't believe they would be so irresponsible as to use dihydrogen monoxide for data storage. That stuff is deadly!

Yes, Dihydrogen monoxide can be deadly stuff -- and it's everywhere!

See: http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

(I especially love the "even after careful washing, food and produce that has been contaminated by DHMO remains tainted by DHMO" -- once you realize what DHMO is, this comment elicits a loud "DUH!")

Seems as if you shout loudly enough with what sounds like science, you'll get a lot of people worked up over just about anything, regardless of what the reality really is...

I've seen studies that claim exercise, jogging, gambling, video games, food, sex, etc. are all "addicting".

I'm currently fighting a DHMO addiction. Every time I think I'm getting close to kicking the habbit, I relapse, just like our corporate overlords want!

I assume this is what your referring to.

Speak outwards against DHMO before it KILLS OUR PLANET!

Now that's a terrorist's dream. Methanol is the least of our problems.

Now that's a terrorist's dream. Methanol is the least of our problems.

Dihydrogen Monoxide is a very seriously problem and should not be made fun of!

...I thought it was dihydrogen monoxide. Nasty stuff, that DHMO.

Support the campaign.

What about the risks of DHMO poisoning? Check out http://www.dhmo.org/ ;)

keep in mind the long-term effects of depleted uranium, not just on Iraqis, but on US forces as well)

It's depleted uranium. What long term effects? If you're really worried about DU, how about getting the non-depleted uranium out of our Coal smokestacks?

I suppose next you're going to tell us that 747s shouldn't use DU beams to maintain structural integrity and airplane balance. I mean, it might be TEH R4D104CT1V3, D000Dzz! Run for the hills! Don't fly, drive, go outside, inside, DOOD LOOK THE HELL OUT FOR EVERYTHING! Oh, and please support the petition to outlaw Dihydrogen Monoxide.

Pathetic.

Are you talking about Hydric Acid, a highly corrosive industrial solvent? Accidental respiration of which "is the second leading cause of accidental death, averaging approximately 8000 deaths per year in the United States alone."

Thats the typical "industrial waste" strawman argument...
Perfect example of course is the fact that dihydrogen monoxide is also a common industrial waste.

I think it's all this DHMO around us that we REALLY should be worried about. This stuff is dangerous. http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

This sits well with anyone who has ever spent a winter in the Canadian prairies. Cloudy nights are "warm", say -5 degrees C, whereas clear nights are cold, like -25 degrees C.

So we have to ban that dihydrogen monoxide stuff.

OMFG! Thank you so much! I would not have beleived that if I hadn't seen it. It remind me so much of the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide

For god sake don't drink dihydrogen monoxide! Won't somebody think of the children?

http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

We need to ban the use of this substance globally! Will humanity never learn?

See DHMO.org for more info.

I bet he wants to use dihydrogen monoxide as a coolant too. Got to watch out its dangerous stuff. http://www.dhmo.org/

I'd be careful of anything involving dyhdrogen monoxide.

Dihydrogen Monoxide is not believed to be carcinogenic, although it is known to be a component of a number of cancer-causing agents. Additionally, the cause of approximately 20 percent of all cancers is not known, and there is reason to suspect that DHMO may play some role in these as well. Clearly, more research is needed before DHMO's role is fully enumerated.

More information is available from the main website

Funny you should say that. Have you been informed of all the dangers of water?
Dihydrogen Monoxide

Yes -- Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:

        * Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
        * Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
        * Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
        * DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
        * Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
        * Contributes to soil erosion.
        * Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
        * Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
        * Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
        * Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
        * Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere.
        * Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.

Lean about the dangers now!

Don't you know how dangerous that is? http://www.dhmo.org/

There have been websites warning about the adverse effects of water for years now, ever since a student did a high school science project on the chemical. The websites tend to use obscure names such as dihydrogen monoxide, or DHMO for short. Of course, there are always the extremists who advocate for this substance. They also like to use scientific names such as hydrogen hydroxide to confuse their opposition.

Simply stating:

H + B -> 3 He + ~10.000.000 eV
H2O + ~10eV -> H2 + O2

See, for example, this and this.

We can see that this reaction is really benefical, because it removes dihydrogen monoxide from the environment. ;-)

As a concerned member I did some research on DHMO and found the following facts

* Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
        * Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
        * Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
        * DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
        * Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
        * Contributes to soil erosion.
        * Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
        * Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
        * Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
        * Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
        * Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere.
        * Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.

I say we try to stop these hydrogen fuel cells as soon as possible before more DHMO is produced.

There's a petition group trying to get people off their addiction to this poisonous liquid that is responsible for numerous hospitalizations a year: http://www.dhmo.org/ .

Store outside of childrens' reach.

Oh, don't worry, we'll get there with banning DHMO. A few years ago the Green Party in New Zealand decided that starting a campaign to ban DHMO would be a good idea.

Yes... this really happened.

For those interested in this very nasty chemical, I suggest you visit http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

> like calling water bad because you can drown in it

The dangers you alluded to are greatly underappreciated. See this page for more on the hidden scourge of the 21st century!

Be really careful about this one.

They say it's already in all our water supplies! Shocking.

Nutrasweet.
MSG
salts (For those that don't get it, ask a nurse about this old saw "The dose makes the poison". Anything, even the most basic element of life, is deadly in excessive quantities.)

"Preservatives" is a little generic. Even salt in its most basic form is a preservative. Sugar is as well. Liquid maple syrup preserves (get this) hardened maple syrup. So, yeah... hmmm... I'll let you all have at this one.

As far as olestra goes, the results of eating too much (dose makes the poison again) are clearly labelled on the packaging, and apart from being messy, aren't any more dangerous than eating several bowls of all bran.

Did you know that MSG is in breast milk? Yup, in fact, the purpose of MSG is to make food "moreish". This way babies are more inclined to keep drinking mother's milk. I don't see babies suffering from migraines.

Don't forget the lethality of dihydrogen monoxide...

http://www.dhmo.org/truth/Dihydrogen-Monoxide.html

C + O2 = CO2, and
H + O2 = H2O

Internal combustion engine exhaust is chock full of that nasty pollutant, dihydrogen monoxide. The only new and interesting development here is someone is attempting to perfect a method to capture that H2O in a useable form, at a rate of "one gallon of water for every two gallons of fuel burned."

Anyone remember when they tried to convince us that dihydrogen monoxide was a hoax too?

Well, we all know how nasty DHMO can be at times...

It's been a LOOOONG time since I took my chemistry class, so I can't seem to figure out exactly what you are talking about. What is quintuply-bonded carbon? Is this one of those jokes like dihydrogen monoxide?

OMG, you're right! It's not even the most evil, pernicious or destructive of the greenhouse gases. We must sign an international treaty immediately to stop this incredible threat to the earth.

After much research (mid-post), I have discovered that the threat is much more far reaching than mere climate change. We must do something now!

In Pasta we trust, RAmen.
