    But if it's bad for profits, it must be Bad Science. You know, Fuzzy Math, and that kind of stuff. Good Science is good for profits.

    As much as I respect the World Wrestling Federation's opinions, I don't know if their research in this area is entirely trustworthy.

    Dihydrogen Monoxide is found to be a pervasive, corrosive chemical found in every facet of our culture. It plays a key part in nuclear power, gaseous dihydrogen monoxide has been seen to cause burns, the chemical industry makes extensive use of it and dumps it straight into the water supply. Corporations are ignoring the DHMO threat. Third world countries suffer widespread disease due to dihydrogen monoxide contamination.

    I think it's high time that the WWF, Sierra Club and Earth Liberation Front tackle this issue and get DHMO banned. It would be in keeping with their record of sound science and reasonable policy.
