City Officials Almost Ban Foam Cups
localhost00 writes "The city of Aliso Viejo, CA nearly banned foam cups when they learned they are produced from a substance known as 'dihydrogen monoxide.' A paralegal working for the city apparantly found a professionally designed web site put up to describe the dangerous properties of this chemical.
Apparantly, the report about Dihydrogen Monoxide was written by a then 14-year-old Nathan Zohner who was researching the gullibility of fifty ninth graders."
More like "Living in California is known to cause an unknown disease." A disease of the mind.

Smart people can be rather inconvenient to the powers that be. The Chinese Gov has imprisoned and executed many a smart scholar.
In the USA they seem to have found alternatives...
Maybe they put something in your water...

You sir are a troll. If I had some moderator points right now, I'd mark you as such. But I don't, so all I can do is point you out as one. Get a life.
