How Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is Affecting Your Health
April 1, 2006
Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:
- Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
- Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
- Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
- DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
- Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
- Contributes to soil erosion.
- Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
- Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
- Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
- Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
- Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere.
- Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.
What are some uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide?
Despite the known dangers of DHMO, it continues to be used daily by industry, government, and even in private homes across the U.S. and worldwide. Some of the well-known uses of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:
- As an industrial solvent and coolant
- In nuclear power plants
- By the U.S. Navy in the propulsion systems of some older vessels
- By elite athletes to improve performance
- In the production of Styrofoam
- In biological and chemical weapons manufacture
- As a spray-on fire suppressant and retardant
- In abortion clinics
- As a major ingredient in many home-brewed bombs
- As a byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion in furnaces and air conditioning compressor operation
- In cult rituals
- By the Church of Scientology on their members and their members' families
- By both the KKK and the NAACP during rallies and marches
- By pedophiles and pornographers (for uses we'd rather not say here)
- By the clientele at a number of homosexual bath houses in New York City and San Francisco
- Historically, in Hitler's death camps in Nazi Germany, and in prisons in Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Libya, Iraq and Iran
- In World War II prison camps in Japan, and in prisons in China, for various forms of torture
- By the Serbian military as authorized by Slobodan Milosevic in their recent ethnic cleansing campaign
- In animal research laboratories
- In pesticide production and distribution

April Fools. DHMO is just water. Di = 2 Hydrous = H Mono = 1 Oxide = O H20
But it is amazing what you can do with statistics.
