WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE.

Nah, fish suffer because they are on the tank, not for the DHMO

It made a short leisurely walk to the mall and back into a living hell. I wasn't sure I'd make it back; it almost completely blocked the lenses of my sunglasses, but if I removed them the flying DHMO crystals would blind me instantly. Cars were sliding all over because of its effect on their brakes, the place I work at had to close down early, etc... it's horrible.

Posts: 20/-7750		 From wikipedia:

In March 2004, Aliso Viejo, California almost considered banning the use of foam containers at city-sponsored events because dihydrogen monoxide is part of their production. The issue was put on the agenda of the City Council after a paralegal found mention of DHMO online and did not realize it was a joke. The item was pulled from the agenda before it could come to a vote, but not before the city received a raft of bad publicity.


BWAHAHAHAH...HA!

Because some idiot might actually read it, think it's a GREAT IDEA™, and then try and convince all other idiots to do it.
It orginated as some school project apparently. Some girl wanted to see how she could fool people into banning water. (or at least, signing on a survey for doing that)

Posts: 373/701		 DHMO also causes old topics to be reposted again and again and again and again and again and again and again...

*5 hours later*

...and again... and.... again.

Yup. Along with the evil Calcium Carbonate and Sillicon Dioxide!

Posts: 3744/4077		 Yeah. Fuck sodium chloride. It causes dehydration and can even be lethal to humans.

By the way, I've heard some bad things about titanium dioxide. Are these allegations true?

That stuff can lead to heart attacks. Dangerous indeed.
