  • Turns out it's the main component in the tea I drink each morning!
  • OMFG, it's in this apple pie I'm eating! Damn you, Dihydrogen Monoxide!
  • http://www.snopes.com/toxins/dhmo.htm Are you serious about this? It's water, for pete_best and other avatars' sakes.
  • I was surrounded with the stuff this afternoon. Had I only known the danger!
  • Yes, I do know it's a joke. Impressive effort on the Web site though!
  • Zoom, path, there it goes. But Snopes also has the truth about sodium lauryl sulfate, you know, the airplane de-icer that's also in toothpaste. And guess what?
  • A goodie but *oldie*
  • Actually, I thought the web site sounded like all those emails which my sister sends me about the current threat to our wellbeing which were sent to her by other folks who'll believe anything. In fact, the tone is what sent me to snopes. To tell the truth, I'd rather not get the equivalent of those emails here. Sorry that I didn't understand that you got the joke.
  • When hot, we sip, When cold, we chew -- The grass is water, through and through, And so am I, and so are you!
  • Now at the new low cost of only $29.99 per 15 oz. package **** NEW IMPROVED DEHYDRATED DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE**** Just add water and stir. *crickets
  • Are you safe? It is safe? Baby food and drills in face. Eat this food; you'll surely die. And these diamonds; open wide.
  • Man, that's supposed to be: Are you safe? Is it safe? Baby food and drills in face. Eat this food; you'll surely die. And these diamonds; open wide. midnight rhymes a no-go
  • I'm 90% Dihydrogen Monoxide! Ph34r m3!!!111
  • mmmmmmmm...DHMO......(drool)......
  • My beer has this stuff! But my beer also has alcohol, which counteracts it. As usual, beer saves the day.
  • Thats a damn good idea, dirigibleman. Your name is hard to spell when drunk.
  • My name is hard to spell when sober.
  • I seem to remember a story a couple years ago when as an april fools joke some whacky morning dj's announced that people shouldn't drink the water because there was Dihydrogen Monoxide in it. People called the local government and the city's water superintendent called the prank a terrorist act.
  • Did you know that you can wash your hands for hours and never get it completely off?
  • Wasn't that a Hall & Oates album?
  • I am now very, very druink let me try now to spell driglbman dio sdi dirigibleman fuckit
  • I'm addicted to dihydrogen monoxide. If I don't consume enought of it, I die.
  • Wash me in the water Where you washed your dirty daughter And I shall be whiter Than the the whitewash on the wall. --still heard during my youth, Author Unknown
  • Did you know that you can wash your hands for hours and never get it completely off? *panics, jumps into the shower* aaaaggghhh It's all over me!!!
