Safety Warning: Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) by Nobody: 10:42pm On Aug 21, 2014
BAN DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE!
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."
• 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.
• as an additive in certain "junk - foods" and other
food products.
Even after washing, produce remains
contaminated by this chemical.
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..
Analysis: "DHMO" is a synonym for "H2O" — the
scientific name for water. Replace every instance
of "DHMO" and "dihydrogen monoxide" with the
word "water" in the message above and you'll get
the joke (if you hadn't already).
It's a parody of overblown health alerts of the
type we find circulating on the Internet every day,
warnings that spread needless fear by taking
advantage of scientific ignorance and consumer
gullibility. It's actually quite instructive, if taken as
an exercise in critical thinking. By presenting a
series of essentially true statements in a grossly
misleading way, even something as harmless as
water can be made to sound like a dire threat to
human health and environmental safety...
They got me too!!! cheesygrin
