But he needs to know that dihydrogen monoxide is so common that many every-day people come into contact with it in some from or another every day of their lives. In fact, at one time or another, every human being becomes addicted to it at one point in their lives or another and from that point on, has to then on out consume it, or if they go too long without it, they will DIE. I'm an addict, myself.

Ordinarily, I would say that you are drunk, but seeing that it is past midnight, I'll say it's sleep deprivation causing your posting problems. :lol I've seen this before on other boards. Get some sleep, and come back tomorrow. :^.^:

I fell for this hoax before. I knew there was something fishy about the name "dihydrogen monoxide". I knew I heard it somewhere before.

Don't worry, I wasn't paying attention and I fell for it too! :lol  :lol
Grrrr, yeah I've heard this one before :p I even took chemistry in high school and in college.  Meh :p My mind is wandering, that's my excuse. :lol:

In my defense, I figured it out before I read the post a couple up from here. B)

This vicious stuff Dihydrogen monoxide even had some prominent victims. Frederick I Barbarossa, holy Roman Empire was killed by Dihydrogen monoxide in 1190, so was King Magnus II of Sweden and Norway, and Bartolomeu Dias (Portugese Explorer who first sailed around the Cape of Good Hope). King Ludwig II of Bavaria (the one who built Neuschwanstein) also was a victim to Dihydrogen monoxide. The famous writer Virginia Woolf killed herself deliberately with Dihydrogen monoxide. These are just a few of the more prominent victims to Dihydrogen monoxide. The list goes on.

The root admin should be worth 100 members, and the minion admins 50 members. :lol

1 member = 1 person

1 admin = 1 person

Person importance on a message board does not change the fact that everyone here is a person. :P:

'nuff said. :lol:

no, we got a couple POSTERS, no telling who all read and didn't post, and no telling how many potential candidates we could've gotten

and it's not a hoax in the form of making a fool out of any one person, it's showing the ignorance people have that they try to cover up by going to things they know nothing about, remember it was done first at an environmental convention

It's neither a hoax, or really even a "scam" (I just called it that because I made people think that water was something it wasn't even though I told truth; the others involved in this know what I mean). Dihydrogen monoxide (two hydrogen one oxygen) is just another term for water, as Cyberlizard pointed out.

If that hoax makes fun of anything, then it is exaggerated scientist language. I think it was a good laugh and nobody needs to feel personally attacked. :rolleyes:
