[QUOTE="imhotep, post: 28745388, member: 562115"] [HEADING=2]The Invisible Killer[/HEADING] Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death. [B][I]Dihydrogen monoxide:[/I][/B] [LIST] [*]is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain. [*]contributes to the "greenhouse effect." [*]may cause severe burns. [*]contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape. [*]accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals. [*]may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes. [*]has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients. [/LIST] [CENTER] [B][I]Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions![/I][/B][/CENTER] Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California. Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used: [LIST] [*]as an industrial solvent and coolant. [*]in nuclear power plants. [*]in the production of styrofoam. [*]as a fire retardant. [*]in many forms of cruel animal research. [*]in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical. [*]as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products. [/LIST] Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer! [CENTER][I][B]The Horror Must Be Stopped![/B][/I][/CENTER] The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation."

[B] It is all about twisting of simple facts to confuse people![/B] The above write up was made in 1997, by 14 year old Nathan Zohner as his science fair project to his classmates, seeking to ban a highly toxic chemical from its everyday use. The chemical in question? Dihydrogen monoxide. Throughout his presentation, Zohner provided his audience scientifically correct evidence as to why this chemical should be banned. He then asked his classmates if they actually wanted to ban dihydrogen monoxide. And so, 43 out of the 50 children present voted to ban this clearly toxic chemical. However… this chemical isn’t typically considered toxic at all. In fact, dihydrogen monoxide is simply H2O, which is nothing but water. Nathan Zohner’s experiment wasn’t a legitimate attempt to ban water, but instead an experiment to get a representation of how gullible people can really be. Also, all of the points that Zohner used to convey his point were 100% factually correct; he just skewed all of the information in his favour by omitting certain facts. In recognition of his experiment, journalist James K. Glassman coined the term "Zohnerism" to refer to "the use of a true fact to lead a scientifically and mathematically ignorant public to a false conclusion". [B]And this occurs a lot more often than you think, especially when politicians, conspiracy theorists, etc., use proven facts to persuade people into believing false claims.
