Ban
Dihydrogen Monoxide!
The Invisible
Killer
Disclaimer!
Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO)
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:
Ø
is also known as
hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain
Ø
contributes to
the "greenhouse effect."
Ø
may cause severe
burns.
Ø
contributes to
the erosion of our natural landscape.
Ø
accelerates
corrosion and rusting of many metals.
Ø
may cause
electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
Ø
has been found
in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions!
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream,
lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the
contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of
dollars of property damage in the Midwest, and recently California.
Despite the
danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
Ø
as an industrial
solvent and coolant
Ø
in nuclear power
plants.
Ø
in the
production of styrofoam.
Ø
as a fire
retardant.
Ø
in many forms of
cruel animal research.
Ø
in the
distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by
this chemical.
Ø
as an additive
in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.
Companies dump
waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them
because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we
cannot afford to ignore it any longer!
The Horror Must Be Stopped!
The American
government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this
damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this
nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting
experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control
and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research
facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground
distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.
It's Not Too Late!
Act NOW to
prevent further contamination. Find out more about this dangerous chemical.
What you don't know can hurt you and others throughout the world.
Disclaimer
Hopefully, by now, you've realized that this is a spoof. Dihydrogen Monoxide is the chemical name for water
(H2O). Read
this warning again, now that you know what the chemical is.
This is a tongue-in-cheek way of reminding people to
carefully think before they are panicked into signing a petition, or supporting
a cause that sounds logical at the onset.
