Water Or Dihydrogen Monoxide ???

Water Or Dihydrogen Monoxide ???
Which one is the 'Real Thing' ???

We all know that water is important but you've never seen it written down like this before.

WATER
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world population.)

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50%less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?



DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE
1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Dihydrogen Monoxide in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Dihydrogen Monoxide and it will be gone in two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Dihydrogen Monoxide into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Dihydrogen Monoxide removes stains from vitreous china.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Dihydrogen Monoxide.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Dihydrogen Monoxide over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Dihydrogen Monoxide to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Dihydrogen Monoxide into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Dihydrogen Monoxide for a sumptuous brown gravy.

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Dihydrogen Monoxide into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Dihydrogen Monoxide will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.



FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
1. The active ingredient in Dihydrogen Monoxide is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

2. To carry Dihydrogen Monoxide syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of Dihydrogen Monoxide have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!


Now the question is, would YOU like a glass of water or Dihydrogen Monoxide?


Compliments of DHM😵rg!
 
WTF are you talking about? The first 1/3 of your post makes sense, but I sincerely hope the last 2/3 of the post is meant as a joke.
Seriously, "the active ingredient in dihydrogen monoxide is phosphoric acid"... tell me this is a parody, pleeeease.

Wow, so I'm guessing you never took high school chemistry. Water = dihydrogen monoxide.

2/10 2 points for an effort leaning away from something moronic
 
yeah, DHMO will have a PH of 2.8 . . . . if you put 10^-2.8 moles of HCl per liter of DHMO in there. . . . .

What is this thread, anyway? Parody? I hope so.
 
Dumb thread. 😛

That being said, a local DJ did the radio bit about dihydrogen monoxide being found in the local schools on April 1st, and caused an uproar with parents and the school board. He is a well known prankster, and people routinely ignore him when he has reported on real emergencies. Figures the retarded populace would take him seriously on April 1st.

there's an entire site dedicated to this parody. 🙂 can't remember the addy though

Amazingly, I knew that one off the top of my head. I try to teach students to always be questioning, and never to just plainly accept things as fact without some proof. (hence, when I teach math, I don't pull formulas out of the air. I derive and prove virtually everything I teach (above basic algebra)

edit: I take that back. Rotation of conic sections - I tell the students that it's pretty tedius and I don't want to waste 3/4 of the class period on something they didn't need to know. "the proof is in the book."
