beware of the dangers of this chemical we know so little about! Here is the website about it:

http://www.dhmo.org

You can read the Frequently Asked Questions page to learn more about how you can keep yourself safe from these dangers:

http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html


Just thought you should be aware of this.

Be sure to rinse well with water after coming into contact with it.

Well, if you don't get it, then that's really funny.

And if you're just playing dumb, well, then I suppose it's only slightly funny.

But the site is a riot, without a doubt.

Sorry, you're wrong. Cuboid just showed a picture of it, it's the color of piss. As a matter of fact, this chemical might just be piss.

From their website:

Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the unstable radical Hydroxide, the components of which are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

from Google's website:
define: sarcasm.

A form of verbal irony, expressing sneering, personal disapproval in the guise of praise. (Oddly enough, sarcastic remarks are often used between friends, perhaps as a somewhat perverse demonstration of the strength of the bond--only a good friend could say this without hurting the other's feelings, or at least without excessively damaging the relationship, since feelings are often hurt in spite of a close relationship. ...

I guess you were just picking a fight, but changed your mind. Good decision. I'm sick of the head-hunting that goes around in these boards. Granted, I hold minor grudges myself, but some of the attempts to "get back" at people are so far-reaching they are almost laughable.

Not sure what issue you have with me, but if I were to wager a guess it would be something about not batting for your team.

I read that unwarranted paranoia is a symptom of being infected with Dihyrogen Monoxide.

Go see a doctor.

I apologize to everybody and their kids! I hope nobody was hurt, and I can assure you, no animals were harmed!

So, I guess this puts an end to drinking my toilet water. I wouldn't want to catch this chemical thing.

You'll be forced to if the poop is in the kitchen.

Like who feared ? Perhaps what they need is a civil war. Those people obviously have some deep differences that need sorting out. When enough of the bad are dead, things will be merrier over there.
