Dihydrogen monoxide

[gameman]

"Fact

is also known as hydric 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.

"The Dangers

Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
Contributes to soil erosion
Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals
Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits
has been found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions
Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks
Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect

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.

Would have thought this was a joke but seeing as is its not in the humor forum.

Lol...

di-hydrogen (2 hydrogens)
monoxide (1 oxygen)

=> H2O.

Good to see that some people have basic chemistry knowledge on this forum haha

 

[ReVolver]

Lets all stop using NaCl

Sodium Chlorine, because you know those elements are really dangerous.

 

[Lambda_drive]

What you really have to worry about is Hydrogen Hydroxide.

 

[Monovertex]

Lol at above .

Anyway, if you are ever in doubt, a simple google will clear it and inform you of some actual chemistry facts (or names, in our case) .

What you really have to worry about is Hydrogen Hydroxide.

Especially Deoxyribonucleic acid

i'm wondering if gameman actually believed this...

 

[Monovertex]

can using dhmo improve my marriage?

This is a popular myth, but one which is also actually supported by a number of scientific facts. Dihydrogen monoxide plays an instrumental role in the centers of the brain associated with feelings of emotional attachment and love. Married couples have found that regular ingestion of dhmo can improve their marriage-related activities, while couples that never ingest dhmo often find that their marriage suffers as well.

rofl!

Ok, I didn't understand what this topic was about until now.

So... it's a joke right? Reminds me of The Simpson's episode where Nelson says to Bart "Your epidermis is showing!".

:shades:

That's a great analogy... I love that episode

Also, it would be much easier to tell if gameman believed this or was just being sarcastic if we had a sarcasm detector. Someone get to work on it, dammit!

 

[gameman]

Its h20

Why'd you have to go and spoil it? Anyway I find it funny, but it is still information.

Still I want to see how many hippies you can scare with this.

I'd guess It would have been better to post this on April Fools' Day

 

[UndeadDragon]

It's funny how all the facts seem to be really bad, but they are all true for water too

 

[FireCat]

I'd guess It would have been better to post this on April Fools' Day

Yeah, It would have been hilarious. hehe

 

[13lade619]

well sorry,.. haha.

i thought it was spam.

>< i forgot you werent that other guy.. lol.

 

[BornANoob[MR]]

Im surprised people didn't recognise this, it's been done before - famously so.

 

[ElderKingpin]

the second i saw the title, i knew it was some kind of thing where it told you the good and the bad stuff.. etc. its water. It can kill you, so can pillows, but you dont see people going berserk over that

 

[Genkora]

I'm never drinking water again now that I know the truth.
