Dhmo Has anyone here heard yet of the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO)?
From http://www.dhmo.org:
"Dihydrogen Monoxide, or DHMO, is a colorless and odorless chemical that kills or maims thousands each year, primarily through accidental inhalation. It has also been revealed to be a causative agent in many environmental exposure incidents, industrial contaminations, automobile accidents, and property damage. The dollar amount losses caused, and the lives impacted, by the DHMO threat are virtually innumerable."
DHMO contributes to the greenhouse effect. Prolonged exposure to its solid form may cause extensive tissue damage, and the liquid form can cause severe burns. It is colorless, tasteless, odorless, and kills thousands of people per year. It is found in industrial solvents and coolants, in nuclear power plants, and pesticides. DHMO is frequently used in some of the cruelest forms of animal research. Detectable, biologically significant levels of DHMO have been found in nearly all tumors and cancerous growths, and cancer patients have also been found to contain extremely high quantities of this chemical.
So what is the government doing about it? Absolutely nothing. DHMO contamination has been found in lakes, resevoirs, and water sources across the nation; companies still allowed to dump it, full strength, directly into water supplies and sensitive environmental areas.
What does anyone think about this?

We should ban it. its put into everthing! My friend I convinced my chemistry class that it should be banned, while our prof was breaking up. Now for the rest of the world!

I don't believe all those studies saying that it's dangerous. My grandmother drank EIGHT glasses a day of the stuff and lived to be ninety.
I use it wash dirt off me after working in the garage or yard. If fact there's an open storage container right next to my house.
Don't believe everything you read.

Some people with criminally bad judgement have adulterated single malt whisky with it! Argh! "In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice, theory and practice are different."

Damianip, I guarantee you will die, and when you do, they will find huge concentrations of it in your bloodstream.

In many parts of the country, just downwind of coal-fired power plants, DHO often falls as precipitation, with deleterious effects on the grass.
Deleterious, that is, for those not wishing to operate lawnmowers. "Sometimes we, as coaches, get into that dictator mode where you just tell and you don't listen and you don't try to understand them." Tom Izzo, Mich. St.

So what you're saying is that DHMO which falls just downwind of coal-fired power plants as precipitation, is responsible for increased NOx emissions?

NOx is no laughing matter. Somebody needs to do something about this insidious threat before we're all irreparably infused with this substance. "Sometimes we, as coaches, get into that dictator mode where you just tell and you don't listen and you don't try to understand them." Tom Izzo, Mich. St.

Does anyone realize how addictive this dihydrogenmonoxide stuff IS?! I, my wife and kids can't go three days without some. We get sick and feel like we gonna die! Oh My God! We have a DHMO monkey on our backs! we even take it to fencing-we can't help ourselves!

Studies have shown withdrawal symptoms from DHMO to cause death.

Sure, make light of a serious situation.
Consider these two chilling observations from "Nature" magazine, February, '04:
1. Excess DHMO has been found to substantially alter the salinity of the oceans. Need I remind you of the "web of life" based largely on the phytoplankton in the ocean? If it dies, we all suffocate!
2. Massive amounts of DHMO are known to have been deposited in the polar ice caps. If they melt at the increasing rates posited in most global warming scenarios, we're going to be up to our armpits in DHMO molecules.
And yet, that one local government entity is ridiculed for having the fortitude to try and ban DHMO in their city limits. Visionaries, I say. "Sometimes we, as coaches, get into that dictator mode where you just tell and you don't listen and you don't try to understand them." Tom Izzo, Mich. St.
