Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO)… A Deadly Substance? A Widespread Menace?.. Use Enough Scary Language And Anything Can Seem Fatal-

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.

My personal opinion is that Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is not nearly as dangerous as some people make it out to be… I personally have been exposed to vast quantities of it and have only rarely suffered adverse effects. Although I do know friends and relatives that have died from excessive exposure to the stuff. And I certainly agree that putting the stuff in milk, gasoline or whiskey is to be avoided. But… Then again… My opinion is from a person who has also been exposed to vast quantities of radiation …

So… in all fairness… Here is a link to an organization that makes a good argument about how much of this stuff people are exposed to and it’s role in the real, theoretical, theological and potential destruction of mankind… They even point to passages in the Bible that indicate a mass extinction took place due to exposure to what could have only been mass quantities of DHMO… In fact… It is a scientifically proven fact that continuous inhalation of this substance is indeed fatal. Here is another link to many surveys from different countries that prove that a majority of the people would want DHMO banned.

Among the many commonly-cited DHMO-related environmental impacts are:

  • DHMO contributes to global warming and the “Greenhouse Effect”, and is one of the so-called “greenhouse gasses.”
  • DHMO is an “enabling component” of acid rain — in the absence of sufficient quantities of DHMO, acid rain is not a problem.
  • DHMO is a causative agent in most instances of soil erosion — sufficiently high levels of DHMO exacerbate the negative effects of soil erosion.
  • DHMO is present in high levels nearly every creek, stream, pond, river, lake and reservoir in the U.S. and around the world.
  • Measurable levels of DHMO have been verified in ice samples taken from both the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps.
  • Recent massive DHMO exposures have lead to the loss of life and destruction of property in California, the Mid-West, the Philippines, and a number of islands in the Caribbean, to name just a few.
  • Research has shown that significant levels of DHMO were found in the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 which killed 230,000 in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and elsewhere, making it the deadliest tsunami in recorded history.
  • It is widely believed that the levee failures, flooding and the widespread destruction resulting from Hurricane Katrina along the U.S. Gulf Coast in 2005 were caused or exacerbated by excessive DHMO levels found in the Gulf of Mexico, along with other contributing factors.

Road kill teddies

A soft toy designer has come up with a macabre new range of road kill teddies.

Twitch the Raccoon /Ext

The first to be launched is Twitch the Raccoon which comes complete with its own body bag to keep the maggots out, reports Metro.

Twitch also has an identity tag revealing it was “run over over by a milk float last Thursday, near the Hangar Lane Giratory system in London”.

A zip on each side of the toy allows the owner to remove Twitch’s innards and stuff them back in again. A tyre print runs across its back.

Creators, Compost Communications, style themselves ‘toy terrorists’ and according to their website: “We squash and burn and bludgeon and maim. But we’re also toy fanatics like you. We love toys.”

Toy creator Adam Arber, 33, from London, said: “I got the idea from looking at my mother-in-law’s dog which is quite ugly and I thought it would make a great toy. A friend of mine had taken some pictures of road kill and the two things gelled into one idea.”

He said he thought the toys, which cost £25, would appeal to people with a sense of humour and “probably not anyone easily upset”.

Coming soon are other characters including Grind the rabbit, Splodge the hedgehog and Pop the weasel.

The toys go on sale this week at Play Lounge in Soho, London, and from mid-December on www.roadkilltoys.com.

World’s oldest condom


The oldest surviving condom in the world has gone on display in an Austrian museum.

The world's oldest condom, dating back to 1640, has gone on display at a museum in Austria /Europics

The reusable condom dates back to 1640 and is completely intact, as is its orginal users’ manual, written in Latin.

The manual suggests that users immerse the condom in warm milk prior to its use to avoid diseases.

The antique, found in Lund in Sweden, is made of pig intestine and is one of 250 ancient objects related to sex on display at the Tirolean County Museum in Austria this summer.

Study: Attractive People Get Better Job Offers… No Wonder I Get Lousy Jobs!

Job applicants who are attractive get better job packages offered than average looking interviewees, British researchers found.

Study authors Carl Senior and Michael J.R. Butler of Aston University in Birmingham found that female interviewers were found to allocate attractive looking male interviewees more high status job packages than average looking men.

Average looking men also received lower status job packages than average looking women. Male interviewers did not differ in the number of high or low status job packages that were given to attractive looking interviewees of either sex, though the male interviewers gave out more low status job packages overall, irrespective of the sex of the interviewee, the researchers found.

“When someone is viewed as attractive, they are often assumed to have a number of positive social traits and greater intelligence,” the researchers said in a statement. “This is known as the ‘halo effect’ and it has previously been shown to affect the outcome of job interviews.”

The findings are published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.
