Dihydrogen Monoxide Warning
« on: October 24, 2007, 08:21:30 PM »
This information has been availible for some time not, but I don't believe any one has shared it on this sight yet.

Dihydrogen Monoxide Warning:

                               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 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.

                             It's Not Too Late.

Act NOW to prevent further contamination. Find out more about this dangerous
chemical. What you don't know can hurt you and others throughout the world.

I think I accidentally swallowed some when I was drunk last night, what can I do to prevent any further internal damage? ??? ??? ???
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

If the damage is only above the shoulders, you're okay.

Alcohol (EtOH) is a good antidote.  The EtOH refined in Scotland is reputed to be especially effective.  There are few know bad side effects, so take liberal applications until you feel better.  Repeat as needed.

Which is why back in the days of 3 masts and 70 gun broadsides, a large number of the Royal Navy's warships had small breweries on board, the dangers of DHMO were known even then 8)

I've heard that many Englishmen still avoid contact with this insidious substance, as it has a disturbing side-effect that causes it to change the color of their skin if it comes in contact with soap?  ;D

DHMO is also a byproduct of ice in Scotch, so if you must, use ice only in the strictest moderation.

Wasn't W C Fields one of the first to warn against ingesting dihydrogen monoxide?

Oh No!  Now I'm afraid the authorities might remove my children from our home.

We've been throwing the kids into a large hole full of dihydrogen monoxide every summer...

Yeah, well I wouldn't trust an English dictionary mate, you guys might have invented the language, but I've been to England, and I couldn't find anyone there who could actually speak it, ha ha!  ;D
