This video of Penn and Teller asking "hippies" to sign a petition to ban DiHydrogenMonoxide (H2O) is not new, but it's funny -- if you think ignorance is funny. (Long time readers may remember when I was fooled by a similar gag.)
Bottom Line: Be careful with your righteousness -- you may be making a mistake that you'll later regret.

Unbelieveable that you didn't get any comments on this one. It points out so many things that there is no need to elaborate. PLEASE Send me a link so that I can forward the Utube presentation by itself.

Oops... Looks like I took the bait!
What is Dihydrogen Monoxide?
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 highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.
For more detailed information, including precautions, disposal procedures and storage requirements, refer to one of the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) available for DHMO:
Kemp Compliance & Safety MSDS for DHMO
Chem-Safe, Inc. MSDS for Dihydrogen Monoxide
Applied Petrochemical Research MSDS for Hydric Acid
