Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.
Dihydrogen monoxide:
* is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
* contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
* may cause severe burns.
* contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
* accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
* may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
* has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Go post this elsewhere, see how many people you can trick. By posting this in the chemistry section, you're not going to fool anyone.

This little prank, might have work on the City councilors of Aliso Viejo (suburb of Orange County, California) in 2004, who were scheduled to vote to ban foam container since foam contained DHMO, until they were told it was water. This won't work in a chemistry section.

Oh certainly, ban it ban it! I'm allergic to it anyways. And I don't think that it does cause severe burns, but other than that, you can say all that stuff. This is actually sort of funnym but don't think your going to fool us.

this is the chemistry section kid, go post it somewhere else.
this was funny about 10 years ago.

No. Its water.
I need it and so does most things on earth.
Sorry your neat little trick didn't work on me, blame chemistry lessons.
LOLOLOLOL :-)
