    It's a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical "dihydrogen monoxide." They want it banned because

    1. It can cause excessive sweating and vomiting
    2. It is a major component in acid rain
    3. It can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
    4. Accidental inhalation can kill you
    5. It contributes to erosion
    6. It decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
    7. It has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients

    I hear it's a very serious problem here, especially now in winter when it is present in increased amounts.

    From dhmo.org...

    What are some uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide?

    ...

    by pedophiles and pornographers (for uses we'd rather not say here),


    Ummm... what?

    It's good for the hair. I wash mine in it everyday. I don't care about the danger-I drink it as well because it gives my skin a healthy glow (or maybe that's all the chemicals).
    I like liven life on the Edge. :D

    Hmmm, sometimes I worry for the future of humanity, I really do.

    This was originally part of a science project (or more of a psychology project I suppose) wasn't it?

    I hear those caflicks use it in some kind of cult ritual after babbies are born.

    It is truly scary
    During the wars in China there was a dilebrate release of DHMO that killed one million people.

    Lyophilization would be a partial solution.

    And the coverup continues - doctors have played down reports of it's presence in all tumours.

    ============================

    This is almost as bad as Deuterium Hydroxide which is now present in most water supplies in the united states. Sources in the Nuclear industy have denied it came from them - but they are the main users..

    No, I wouldn't sign your silly petition, I'd hit you until you moved out of my way. Hippy peasant.

    i was there thinking,
    "perfect time to practice my chemistry,hmmmm 2 h's and one O, that makes....... 0_o "


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭reigninblood


    Ummmm ok so this stuff basically is at the root of all evil that goes on in the world? Anyone else think that this stuff being blamed for:
    1). School Violence
    2). The El Nino Weather effect
    4). Cancer

    is a bit weird. They aren't really related. My flight was delayed last week... do you think that was DHMO as well?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    well if your flight was delayed due to stormy weather, then most definatly


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 93,581 Mod ✭✭✭✭Capt'n Midnight


    Random blood testing of air traffic controllers has detected high levels of it .

    DHMO has also been associated with GMO foods !
    The meat industry has long been suspected of deliberatley adding it to their products though it has been denied as "part of normal processing"

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,016 ✭✭✭✭vibe666


    i was swimming in the sea once and there had been a huge spillage of DHMO and i accidentally swallowed a load of it that had been mixed with the deadly compound NaCl and i nearly choked!:rolleyes:

    /cues the 'how low can you go' tune.

    :p

    I forgot the wise words of my dear old dad, who said to me one day out on the farm 'son, you'll have to remember that when you're trying to be funny, it's always wise to include some sort of an element of humour'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 986 ✭✭✭wild_eyed


    does it come in a minty sweet form, and if so, i got be a reseller at hippy parades?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,714 ✭✭✭Ryaner


    A recent stunning revelation is that in every single instance of violence in our country's schools, including infamous shootings in high schools in Denver and Arkansas, Dihydrogen Monoxide was involved


    Thats make me say yes ban it. Doubt I'd stop to sign it tho.

    moderate intake of DHMO prior to engaging in sexual activity may enhance performance


    Makes me thinks, hmmm where do I buy this :D

    No one of the problems with it is that is more or less taste and odour free - which makes it particularly incidious expecially for the children.
    Some tribal groups claim to be able to smell it after they have gone cold turkey for a few days - but very few have been able to give it up fully due to the cravings. (Strange as it sounds it is used in certain ceremonies by those tribes)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 86 ✭✭reigninblood


    Im sorry but I can't get my head around this. So this stuff is present in every cancer and is responsible for every violent act commited by man and responsible for every weather disturbance? Why the hell haven't I heard of it before! So people campaigning against leaded ful and guns etc are wating their time? Its all down to this stuff?
    Sounds like you are looking for miracle cure to the worlds problems. what are you gonna do when it is banned and bad things keep happening?..........."Uuuuuummm it wasn't the DHMO it was...........CHEESE! Yes do you know that in the autopsies of all serial killers high levels of cheese were found? Hitler was addicted to cheese! Extremely high deposits of cheese have been found in the ruins of the Iran earthquake. It was a piece of chees that damaged the wing of the chalenger shutlle causing it to explode. Sign my petition STOP THE US GOVERNMENT USING CHEESE TO COOL NUCLEAR REACTORS! THEY ARE PLAYING WITH OUR LIVES!!"

    I think he did, and is just being very subtle about it. see his last statement:

    substitute 'cheese' for 'DHMO' and it becomes a true statement.

    unless he was just being thick and stumbled onto it.:D

    No I didnt actually get it! Ha. Didnt read any of the earlier posts saying it was water. Actually quite proud I didnt get it. The day I can recognise the kind of joke some bloke who needs his mother to put his ear medecine in for him would make up as what it is would be a sad day.
    This is the geek equivalent of the old "spell it"..." ....I...T..." joke when you were like 7!
