A man's nephew won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to the alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. The local newspaper, The Post Register, reported in the Sunday paper that he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical "dihydrogen monoxide." And for plenty of good reasons, since it can:

1. cause excessive sweating and vomiting
2. it is a major component in acid rain
3. it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
4. accidental inhalation can kill you
5. it contributes to erosion
6. it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
7. it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients

Nathan Zohner, a freshman (age 14) at Eagle Rock Junior High, asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical. Forty-three said yes, six were undecided, and only one knew that the chemical was water.
The title of his prize winning project was,"How Gullible Are We?". He feels the conclusion is obvious.

Yeah, that's pretty good. I probably would have fallen for it too if I hadn't read the name of the chemical slower. If it's in print, most people think it's gospel.

That's carbon monoxide. As the man said, the word "monoxide" simply means "one oxygen molecule" So carbon monoxide= CO. As opposed to carbon dioxide, or CO2.

That reminds me of the time on the Man Show when they petitioned to end woman's suffrage.
Tons of women were signing the petition.

BTW suffrage is the right to vote.
