I'm reading John Stossel's book "Give Me a Break." I highly recommend it! It's a real eye opener. Anyway, here's an interesting article that shows just how gullible people can be:<br /> Dihydromonoxide Banned <br /><br />Here's a link to the site that warns of the dangers of DHMO (chemical signature is H20).<br /><br /> DHMO warning<br /><br />"UPI Washington: The FDA today announced that saliva causes stomach cancer. This appears to occur, however, only when swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time."<br /><br /> :D

Link did not work for me, I got a page from sacbee.com full of links.<br /><br />BUT "DI" would be two and Dihydrogen would be two hydrogen plus "mon" oxidie which is one oxygen... that's H20

I always love this joke.<br /><br />There are many people that just dont get it. Like the people that believe the gov is spraying us with chemicals called CHEMTRAILS. Do a search, it will give you a few laughs.<br /><br />Ken

But sloopy my little WVA friend, you should have let the page finish loading and you would have seen it.<br />So funny though.

describe dihydrogen monoxide as "an odorless, tasteless chemical" that can be deadly if accidentally inhaled.<br />
It's called...<br /><br />DROWNING.<br /><br />I can't believe that anyone fell for this!
