    Dihydrogen Monoxide or hydroxyl acid is pretty bad stuff,

    It is a factor in global warming, is fatal if inhaled, can cause burns that can kill, has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients and is even used in nuclear reactors!

    Get the facts on dihydrogen monoxide
    http://www.dhmo.org/

    FAQ - http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html
    Cancer & Health - http://www.dhmo.org/cancer.html
    Our Environment - http://www.dhmo.org/environment.html

    Its clear beyond doubt that its dangerous stuff yet the government do nothing about it except for the odd sign warning children to stay away from it in certain area's.

    Lets also remember that Hitler used Dihydrogen Monoxide in the chemicals used to kill the jews and Even a small amount of it can kill a baby.

    Used in pretty much every thing either as an ingredient or in the making of the product, there's alot of it around.

    You likely have it in your home and may even see some of it when looking out the window..

    Primarily on the basis that it's rank.

    You've got it wrong. People can't get married unless the Priest issues the banns. :rolleyes:

    Steve McCroskey: Jacobs, I want to know absolutely everything that's happened up till now.

    Jacobs: Well, let's see. First the Earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. [McCroskey walks off] And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it- [Jacobs turns and starts to walk away, continuing to speak, trailing off as he gets further from the camera] he took her best summer dress and he put it on and went to town...
