Dihydrogen Monoxide is pervasive in our environment. It even sounds
nocuous. It is also known as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide,
Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid.
Some of the dangers are:
a.. Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
b.. Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
c.. Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not
typically life-threatening side-effects.
d.. DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
e.. Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
f.. Contributes to soil erosion.
g.. Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
h.. Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
i.. Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
j.. Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
k.. Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
l.. Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and
elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New Orleans
and other areas of the southeastern U.S.
m.. Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino
weather effect.
Who in their right mind would not want to ban this terrible substance?
But here's my point--presentation is the essence the sell. Are you educated
or do you just blindly jump with the masses? Apply this to what you see on
the news and in the theatres. Anyone who knows me knows that I am an
information junky--and I take everything with a grain (or shaker) of salt.
Salt, by the way, rapidly dissolves in Dihydrogen Monoxide.
Because what I'm talking about above is simply H2O. Water. Sounds pretty
bad, doesn't it?
Here is an illustration of my point:
