This Killer Must Be Stopped!

Just read below because personally I can't believe that this hasn't been banned by the government! It may only be a matter of time before a terrorist gets his dirty hands on this substance.

Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide!

The Invisible Killer
Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

Dihydrogen monoxide:

* is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
* contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
* may cause severe burns.
* contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
* accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
* may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
* has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions!
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

* as an industrial solvent and coolant.
* in nuclear power plants.
* in the production of styrofoam.
* as a fire retardant.
* in many forms of cruel animal research.
* in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
* as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

The Horror Must Be Stopped!
The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.

Old joke, it's more fun to do it in person.

At the Whole Earth Festival at UC Davis, where a bunch of environmentalist hippies come to town, we got about 90 signatures on it, some from people claiming that they've heard all about it because they're environmentalists and that normal people are clueless about it's dangers.

It is a killer, how can the idiotic government not ban it?
It's industry first here, human rights last.

OMG! This is an abhorence! It's worse than nuclear warfare... and far more contagious. This is going to be the destroyer of our world!!!!

Yes, I know this chemical compound can be very deadly.

I voted yes, because oh it's sooooooooo terrible! We are all in serious trouble if this gets out! WAAAARGH!!!



Can you sense the sarcasm, people? :rolleyes:

Considering the last thread on this was about last week. I fail to see the fun in tricking people who cannot read.

I've run out. :(

(Well, not quite run out. More like "Left the pub." Britain hasn't quite got to the stage where we have internet pubs. Mores the pity.)

Oh, my joke!

That's the thing - it's not your joke. It's recycled old pre-Internet crap everone has heard at least 20 times by now. It isn't witty or original or funny any more - and it never really was. It's just old. Old, old, old, and as such needs to be put on an ice raft and floated out to sea to die, die die!
