| Boycotting Dihydrogen Oxide (DHO) | |
|
Ex-Rauc - Student |
Dihydrogen Oxide Dihydrogen Oxide (DHO) is colourless, odourless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people each year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHO, but the dangers of Dihydrogen Oxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to it's solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. Not only is DHO dangerous to humans it is also extremely hazardous to the environment. It is a major component of acid rain, it contributes to the greenhouse effect, and is a common cause of erosion of our natural landscape. Worldwide contamination by DHO is reaching epidemic proportions. Quantities of the chemical have been found in almost very stream, lake and reservoir in Australia today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in the Antarctic. So far governments and environmental watchdogs have been indifferent to the problem. Despite the danger DHO is widely used as an industrial solvent and coolant, in nuclear power stations, as a fire retardant, as an additive in certain junk foods and other food products, and in a wide variety of other uses. Companies routinely dump DHO into rivers and oceans, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The Australian government (In fact, no government) has refused to ban the production, distribution or use of this damaging chemical due to its 'importance to the economic life of the nation'. The U.S. Navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHO, and designing multi-billion-dollar devices to control and use it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly complicated underground distribution network. Many store huge quantities for later use. Act now to prevent further contamination. Boycott the industries that use Dihydrogen Oxide and help the environment!  This post was edited by Ex-Rauc on Aug 16 2003 01:54pm. |

This reminds me of something my chemistry teacher told us about bread earlier this year. I think it went a little something like this: 1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users. 2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardised tests. 3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations. 4. Every piece of bread you eat brings you nearer to death. 5. Bread is associated with all the major diseases of the body. For example, nearly all sick people have eaten bread. The effects are obviously cumulative: a) 99.9% of all people who die from cancer have eaten bread. b) 100% of all soldiers have eaten bread. c) 96.9% of all Communist sympathisers have eaten bread. d) 99.7% of the people involved in air and auto accidents ate bread within 6 months preceding the accident. e) 93.1% of juvenile delinquents came from homes where bread is served frequently. 6. Evidence points to the long-term effects of bread eating: Of all the people born in 1839 who later dined on bread, there has been a 100% mortality rate. 7. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month! 8. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis. 9. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days. 10. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts. 11. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person. 12. New born babies can choke on bread. 13. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute. 14. Most bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling. In light of these frightening statistics, we propose the following bread restrictions: 1. No sale of bread to minors. 2. A nation wide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers. 3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread. 4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colours (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage. 5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools. _______________ Captain Barkeep. This comment was edited by Mune on Sep 09 2003 12:59am. |

LOL. This goes around the Internet every couple of months. It actually started out as a prize-winning science fair project titled "How Gullible Are We?" in which a High School student surveyed hundreds of people and found overwhelming support for outlawing H2O completely. It's shocking how easy it is to get people hysterical and clamoring for government intervention with just a few factoids. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |
