I saw a recent Penn and Teller piece at an envirowacko gathering where they had their appropriately dressed, slim hipped, blonde ask attensees to sign a petition to ban monohydrogen dioxide.
She told the signees it was every where in the enviroment and was used in the products of many industries. She said it is also an air pollutant. She went on and on with brilliant absolutely envirospeak condemantion.
She even got the event host to sign. He was the only signer she told that the petition was to ban water. He had the most sheepish look I have ever seen as the dawining came that he had been had.

Everyone who comes in contact with bisphenol A will eventually die.

I only ingest Dihydrogen Monoxide when it’s surrounded by beer molecules. Seems to somewhat paliate the neferious effects of DHMO...
