Going Rogue, Part IV: Guess what the EPA is going to regulate now? Bluefield Daily Telegraph, Bluefield, WV:
Maybe you’ve seen that e-mail that tells you about a harmful chemical and asks you to sign a petition to ban it. The e-mail tells you that the chemical — dihydrogen monoxide — is the main ingredient in acid rain and is capable of causing suffocation if too much of it is ingested. Some of the e-mail readers are horrified, sign the petition and forward it to their e-mail list to warn others of this threat.
The e-mail is a joke, but the non-chemists among us may not realize that. You see, dihydrogen monoxide is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen, or H2O: water!"
