The controversy surrounding dihydrogen monoxide has never been more widely debated. 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. Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year...Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are: * Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities. * Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage. * Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects. * Contributes to soil erosion. * Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals. * Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits It could be said that DHMO is involved in one's relationship to Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, dihydrogen monixide has been the center of theological debate, which started with Urich Zwingli in 1525, and continues today. Congregations have split over these issues. Denominations have squared off in their debates over the presence or absence of DHMO in salvation. For up to date information on the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide, go to the web site for the Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division (DMRD), currently located in Newark, Delaware. http://www.dhmo.org/. Dihydrogen monoxide's chemical equation is H2O. That's right: water!
