    Dihydrogen Monoxide

    Howdy Guys and Gals,

    I was just reading an article about towns and cities in the U.K. that have been pumping Dihydrogen monoxide into the homes of their residents for yrs now.

    The article went on to say that when laboratory rats were immersed in dihydrogen monoxide, they suffered greatly, thrashing about, unable to breath and finally their lungs filling with fluid before death came about three minutes later. They went on to say that in the same situation,

    it affects humans in much the same way. It is a very violent death.

    I looked up dyhydrogen monoxide and found the following information about it at this link: http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

    "Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless

    chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid.

    DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful.

    Some of the uses of Dihydrogen monoxide are:

    as an industrial solvent and coolant,

    in nuclear power plants,

    by the U.S. Navy in the propulsion systems of some older vessels,

    in the production of Styrofoam,

    in biological and chemical weapons manufacture,

    as a spray-on fire suppressant and retardant,

    as a major ingredient in many home-brewed bombs,

    as a byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion in furnaces and air conditioning compressor operation

    in community swimming pools to maintain chemical balance

    in animal research laboratories, and

    in pesticide production and distribution"

    If you would like to learn more, like the symptoms of an overdose of dihydrogen monoxide or what you can do to protect your family, check out the above link.

    Dihydrogen monoxide consists of two hydrogen atoms, hence the "di" (two) hydrogen and one oxygen atom signified by "mono" (one) oxide or oxygen. its written chemical equation is therefore H2O.

    Have a good day, lol

          Lol @ duncan,

          Very funny !!!

          At first I thought this was a serious post from Greg till I saw the descriptive Formula for this so called substance (before he got to H2O) and realised that it was water !!!

          Excellent though !!! and I can only agree with Duncan hehe

          Mark.
