Beware Dihydrogen Monoxide

[Oz]

The Invisible Killer
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.

The silent killer. Please pass this advisory on.

omg im scared! i hope Dihydrogen monoxide isn't very common! i say we should destroy all the Dihydrogen monoxide molocules and reform them into something useful and safe, like water.

[taranaki]

Don't worry mate,most of it is so heavily diluted that it's harmless.

Lesson learned: You can BS just about anything on the internet and there will be some poor sods dumb enough to believe your factpinion.

Studies show that 100% of dead people had dihydrogen monoxide in their systems at the time of death.. The little-known killer.
