Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide!

I have just been alerted to the overwhelming presence of a very dangerous chemical on our planet. Dihydrogen Monoxide. According to available literature,


Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and sickens over 4 billion and kills over 2 million people every year (United Nations World Health Organization, 2008: www.WHO.Int). 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.

We must take action quickly! If left unchecked, Dihydrogen Monoxide could reach the farthest corners of our planet and beyond. There's even rumor now that Dihydrogen Monoxide may be found on the surface of neighboring Mars and may have had something to do with the disappearance of any possible civilization there.

Please contact your Congressional Representative IMMEDIATELY and urge them to consider a ban on DHMO!

Let me guess... 3M made it, or was it Dow chemicals? What the hell is it and how the frell did it get to be such a silent killer...?

By the way, it's too early for me to think, so if this is a joke... I SOOOOOO didn't get it.

Terrifying isn't it? It's apparently been here all along and we either haven't noticed it or haven't cared.

It's got me a little freaked out because now they're even talking about running our cars on this stuff. How safe is that?

Seriously, we need to take immediate action!

I think I'm gonna go take a nice big drink of it now...

You're taking your life in your own hands, my friend. Just be careful to not inhale the stuff or over-indulge. Neither is good for you. Inhalation may cause death and over-indulgence may cause sweating, bloating, weight-gain and/or nausea.

Oxides are overrated.
