ShadowTemplar Posted May 21, 2003 Posted May 21, 2003 Try reading this, and tell me whether you think that dihydrogenmonoxide (DHMO) should be banned. Considering all these warning signs, isn't it reasonable to demand that DHMO is banned?
wassup Posted May 22, 2003 Posted May 22, 2003 Ooo I remember this from 9th grade Biology class. Ya dihydrogenmonoxide should be banned since it causes so many deaths each year... ...like drowning. For those of you who haven't figured this out yet, I pity you.
Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 22, 2003 Posted May 22, 2003 Remembers that old quote: One death is a tragedy. Thousand deaths are a disaster. A million deaths.. are just statistics. Car accidents Drowning All these things are well known, but "just statistics". I guess that if we really want people to survive, we'll have to invent new alien names for every "forgotten" accident. If we spelled "drunk driving" backwards, the likes of wassup would storm out and fight it before they knew what they were hitting. Seriously, though, why DHMO? Why not something we can prevent without being state ministers?
ShadowTemplar Posted May 23, 2003 Author Posted May 23, 2003 Come on. Is there really no-one here who cares about the hazards of DHMO?
munik Posted May 24, 2003 Posted May 24, 2003 I think the only way someone would fall for this is if they were: Severely mentally retarded, Had the reading aptitude of a 1st grader, and did not know what the prefix di or mono meant did not know what hydrogen and oxygen are, thus supporting the first bullet item So, I just figure this is a trap for those on this board who meet the above criteria. Very clever. I would have enjoyed it more if there were actually people who "took up the fight", so to speak.
ET Warrior Posted May 24, 2003 Posted May 24, 2003 OH MY GOODNESS!!!! NOT DIHYDROGENMONOXIDE!!!!!! I think, in fact, it SHOULD be banned.....I never liked it that much anyways..............milk is way better.
Guest Jed Posted May 24, 2003 Posted May 24, 2003 You know, to this day, I still don't know how to swim in it. And it if it's too hot it'll burn you when you take a shower. By all means ban it.
Tyrion Posted May 24, 2003 Posted May 24, 2003 Oh crap,I'm made of more than 75% DIHYDROGENMONOXIDE!!!!!!
SkinWalker Posted May 24, 2003 Posted May 24, 2003 I'm actually addicted to the stuff.... so I hope they don't ban it.... where will I get my fix?
Jah Warrior Posted May 24, 2003 Posted May 24, 2003 well if it IS dangerous then it should at least be controlled and only made purchasable by license, otherwise who cares, I'v never heard of it killing anyone up till now, in fact its the first I'd heard of it.
XWING5 Posted May 24, 2003 Posted May 24, 2003 If you don't like it, then ban it. But I am undecided whether it should be nationally banned. Like everything, seems that there are good and bad sides.

In fact, I wish I'd used this as my April Fools' joke instead of my "conversion."
XWING5 Posted May 25, 2003 Posted May 25, 2003 Shhhhhh...... I am playin' along. (I was going to put something much like OJ, but figured that would be too much)
Wudan Posted May 27, 2003 Posted May 27, 2003 Actually, we should conserve it so future generations may enjoy some fresh DHMO. Of course, if we don't, you know I'm down for some nasty DHMO.
