Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide now!

Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide Now

THE INVISIBLE KILLER: Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possible 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 hydric acid, and is a major component of acid rain.

contributes to the greenhouse effect

may cause severe burns

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. In the midwest alone DHMO has caused millions of dollars in property damage.

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.

Waste DHMO is allowed to pollute our precious lakes, rivers, streams and the ocean itself. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

This Horror Must Be Stopped!

The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to it's "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.

Thanks for the warning. How does this post qualify under "Jokes, links and levity?"

One of my schoolmates died after being immersed in DHMO. DHMO in a solid state once caused me to slide a new Grand Prix right into a ditch, required two tow trucks to get me out. This is dangerous stuff.

My sympathies. I still wonder how this post classifies as "Jokes, links and levity."

Apparently you are not a chemist.... But it qualifies because he has provided a link to an important site....

Studlover,

I'm no chemist either. Think! You may be a music teacher, but you must have some contact with the real world.

What do those words mean?

'Di' prefix meaning two. 'Mon' prefix meaning one. Put that together with the chemicals and you get 2 parts Hydrogen to one part Oxygen.

If that doesn't answer it, try this crossword clue: IJKLMN; answer is 5 letters.

LOL

Colin, this one went totally over my head. I teach a chemistry teacher and am going to print this out and give it to him. As for some contact with the "real" world, well, very litle. And I am not joking nor being sarcastic. Sometimes I regret it and sometimes I am glad of it.

Obviously, a musical hint is needed. There are two very famous works by Handel, written for specific outdoor events. The title of one of the works contains the answer to the conundrum; no recording of the latter work will fail to have a reference to the connection between the commemorated event and dihydrogen monoxide in the cover notes.

I always thought the water music was Po. Or was it just in the Chamber?
