A survey recently was taken at NOTRE DAME University about banning the chemical dihydrogenmonoxide (DHMO). (I know, we’ve been through this before.)
The study claimed that DHMO was found to be a major component of sewer waste…
that in its vapor form it was a major contributor to greenhouse gases…
that, if inhaled, it could be fatal…
that in its vapor form in could cause sever burns…
DHMO is present in mose, if not all, forms of cancer…
if ingested it could cause sweating and excessive urination…
there have been studies concerning the presence of DHMO in our nation’s milk supply…
it is corrosive to metals…
it is a major component in the acid of car batteries…
Do favor banning this chemical?
In a Chem I class 59% favored a ban based solely on this type of presentation.
In a Chem II class 86% were in favor of a ban.
They never attempted to determine exactly what is “dihydrogenmonoxide”.
In 1955, my high school physics class was presented with a similar study and we caught on within a few seconds as to what the study was about.
What has happened to education?
And in case you haven’t figured out what dihydrogenmonoxide is…
I ain’t gonna tell you.
