My friends and I want to survery students at our school about Dihydrogen Monoxide and its dangers... and we want to see how many will sign a petition to ban it, or how many actually pick up on our little trap in this experiment ;)

Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO), is a scientific name for water that is relatively unknown to most of the public, used in hoaxes that illustrate how the lack of scientific knowledge and an exaggerated analysis can lead to misplaced fears.
If you really want to get some people worked up, try this site:
http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html
It lists all the "Dangers" of DHMO.
Lol, see how many people you can get to freak out and sign your petition.

I would. I was actually thinking about printing about 50 flyers listing the possible dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide and handing them out to the people that shop at Whole Foods. See if I make the evening news.
The site I linked below has some nice (funny) attributes of DHMO.

i could decide for it....yet while they're clever sufficient to make a bomb i do no longer think of they are going to be clever sufficient to accidently admit to it via your survey. Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a drab and odorless chemical compound, additionally reported with the help of a few as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or in basic terms Hydric acid. Its foundation is the volatile radical Hydroxide, the climate of that are present day in somewhat some caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds which incorporate Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol

Hahahaha...good one. I'd be interested in how many people actually sign the petition. What are the hazards you're going to attribute to H2O?

You could use one of its other names. Many people now recognise dihydrogen monoxide.
Try:
Hydro-oxic acid
Hydrogen hydroxide
etc.

I think your survey idea is a great one as long as it was a blind survey. That way your data could be shared with all and peoples feelings would not be hurt.
2H2 +O2---> 2H2O
