I love it! I understand that a town in CA once voted to ban it all together!

Vince is pointing out the heinous nature of this vile substance.
He is also taking the piss out of the fools who would ban this.
I am all for not letting the hysterical nay sayers have any at all, problem would then be self solving.
Best of all the web site is an excellant example of how "wording" and semi scientific clap trap can deceive.
What is this vile substance?
Water.

In the dihydrogen monoxide hoax, water is referred to by an unfamiliar name, "dihydrogen monoxide", followed by a listing of real effects of this chemical, in an attempt to convince people that it should be regulated, labeled as hazardous, or banned. The hoax is intended to illustrate how the lack of scientific literacy and an exaggerated analysis can lead to misplaced fears.[1] "Dihydrogen monoxide", shortened to "DHMO", is a name for water that is consistent with basic rules of chemical nomenclature,[2] but is not among the names published by IUPAC[3] and is almost exclusively used in humorous context.

It is major cause of the Grand Canyon, and responsible for the death of hundred of thousand back in 2004 in South East Asia and 2012 in Japan.
Dangerous stuff..
We ought to report them to the authority..
