Ban dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) now.

[southeast-isher]

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 are not yet fully known. If we are to regulate consumption of tobacco and alcohol i urge you to consider your exposure to DHMO.

Right behind you there, SE.

How on earth did we ever let the situation develop in which there's so much of it around?

Oh Noooooo that's terribubble, I've had tests - not only am I exposed to it but I'm 80% DHMO I must be a carrier

[greenorelse]

Alright I admit it - I'm addicted to it. There, said it.

i admit to liking the subtle taste of it though... and would argue that used responsibly, it is harmless. I know this is controversial of me, but i would go on to say some DHMO is a good thing.

sometimes i have been known to decadently pour DHMO all over my skin. I've not come to any harm yet. although if i stay in too long my fingers go wrinkly so i take this as an early warning.

I have been giving it to the kids for years

[Milims]

How can we protect ourselves from it when it simply falls from the sky?

[greenorelse]

I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[Ellendra]

It's been found in cancerous tumors, and is one of the major components of acid rain!

[frozenthunderbolt]

It is an insidious food additive found in nearly everything!

[Milims]

It's also a major ingredient in wine and beer - it really must STOP!!!!

It's also a major ingredient in wine and beer - it really must STOP!!!!

Careful milims, where would MKG (and greorach come to think of it) be without it! (Wine and beer that is )
