Dihydrogen Monoxide - chemical kills many every year

[Cyclone1]

The chemical compound Dihydrogen Monoxide kills many every year. It is found in many liquid poisons and pesticides, as well as nuclear waste. In the 1950's a break out in London killed thousands. 600 deaths were reported in New England in the late 30's as well due to Dihydrogen Monoxide. It is sometimes considered deadly, but it can still be purchase very cheaply, possibly by terrorists. Should we ban it?

Tell me what you guys think...

[Squarethecircle]

I heard about this before... C1, you been to the prevention website yet?

[Cyclone1]

No not yet, but does anyone think it should be banned? We might be able to ban it.

dihydrogen monoxide....H2O

[Squarethecircle]

Yeah, maybe C1. I found some in my water glass this morning, after I had drunk from it. I felt bloated and rather headachey for the next few hours, and I didn't have that much.

[Cyclone1]

GAH! You ruined it! yes, Dihydrogen Monoxide is H20...

Water. But everything I said about it is 100% true. Go make your friends feel like morons.

Shush! Don't tell them!

EDIT Agh, C1 beat me to it.

Yeah, it seems to be in all the local wells as well. It's even in Peace River, Which leads to the Gulf.

Oh yeah, there's LOTS in the Gulf. Conservatives might tell you otherwise, but it's actually one of the major contributors to the recent bout of intense hurricanes.

[Cyclone1]

Yeah... infact, it causes Red Tide. Not always, but when mixed with other conditions, Red Tide can develop.

[Squarethecircle]

Also, it's frequently used in torture, apparently to cause someone to think they're dying.

[Cyclone1]

So after reading these facts, I want feedback. Should it be banned?

[Cyclone1]

Here's a scary fact, another name for the compund is Hydroxyl Acid. It's the main component of acid rain.

It can cause severe burns, and corrode many metals.

[Squarethecircle]

It explodes if heated rapidly.

[Cyclone1]

Just to clarify, this is NOT a hoax! Everything we've stated about this chemical is true.

it would be interesting to see if one can go one day from the time they wake up in the morning til the time they go to sleep in the night... if any of us can go just 1 day without touching, using or consuming water or any water product. haha of course that means no drinking of anything, and no bathing, or washing hands, or even using the bathroom. I mean you can still use the bathroom, you just cant flush cuz you arent allowed to use water.

Makes you realize just how we take this precious commodity for granted. We dont even think of it on a regular basis.

You wouldn't be able to eat food either because it contains water in it (a % of water). You also wouldn't be able to be in a area with any humidity in the air at all. One last thing, your body has water in it so you have to get rid of all that too.

Actually, a MSDS (material safety data sheet) I have for water lists it as a skin irritant that may be harmful if absorbed through the skin, an eye irritant, and harmful if ingested. I'm not kidding.

[Ptarmigan]

Water is dangerous if you drown in it or drink too much of it.
