The sad reality is that the levels of public knoweldge abot scientific names is so low that ou could start a campaign against anything if you gave it the scientific name and approched people with it.

I say we start a movement against inorganic substances in out food, not only dihydrogen monoxide, but sodium chloride (which can be broken down, and the chlorine used to make WMD's!) and countless other terrible inorganic dangers!Last edited by GePap; March 15, 2004, 17:55.If you don't like reality, change it! me

My mother is a chemistry teacher, and I just approached her speaking of this ban of dihydrogen monoxyde. It took her time to get it, after some reflection, simply because nobody uses the chemical name for it (unlike sodium chlorine, or even H20, which I heard quite a few times in my chemistry classes)"I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

a waitress once warned me of the dangers of the dihydrogen monoxide in our water. everyone at the table with me was baffled, I felt so ashamed having such stupid friends
C'mon people, don't overdo it either, why should non-chemists (and alike) need to know what dihydrogen monoxide is.
That's like me making fun of you because you don't speak dutch.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

I've just learned that certain shadowy organizations within our our own government are rumored to operate DHMO purification plants under heavy guard, and actually distribute the stuff right in our own communities!Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

DHMO is being used to pollute our precious bodily fluids!

Ah yes, that good old DHMO trickI am amazed that people still fall for it.

And it is quite interesting that Potassium started this thread...because to someone made entirely of potassium, water would be extremely dangerousSpeaking of Erith:
