The U.S. military, and especially the Navy, conduct a large number of weapons tests involving DHMO.The Chinese have been torturing people with it for centuries.

Oxidane and hydroxylic acid are also very scary.

Dihydrogen monoxide is 1,000 times more dangerous than rifles. We need stricter control of dihydrogen monoxide!

Where's Orson Welles when we need him?
He'd be charged with involuntary manslaughter for his "War of the Worlds" radio show back in 1938. Just think how this would explode today with the internet and social media.

From the article:
Update, Wednesday: St. John and Fish were back on the air Wednesday, and officials with the local health department tell The Atlantic Wire that felony charges are not expected.
Oh well, back to discussing important stuff.

I’ve been told that direct inhalation of dihydrogen monoxide for more than 15 minutes is fatal!

What I am most concerned about is the massive amounts of dihydrogen monoxide that our country is using in power generation. What if it gets consumed by our children. I think it’s about time we found a clean source of energy.

I think I just ingested some DHMO, someone help me...... If INHALED it can be fatal.
In its gaseous state, it can cause severe burns.
In its solid state, it creates dangerous accident hazards.
To: mvpel
DHMO is an important industrial solvent, and is found in much greater than trace amounts in many foods and beverages, especially sugary carbonated drinks. DHMO is also used to fight fires and has agricultural applications.
To: dfwgator
Once you start using it, you’ll die without it.

Large quantities of DHMO can be detected in autopsies performed all over the world, every day.

I thought it was pretty funny as April Fool’s jokes go. Regulators take themselves way too seriously these days.
