It was an ordinary day. Thought I would post just a short story today that will take you by surprise. So...please do not read the end of the post until you reach it! So...here goes... A freshman at Eagle Rock Junior High School won first place at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair. Her project wasn't outstanding nor was it complicated. In her project, she urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical, dihydrogen monoxide. And for plenty of good reasons, since:
1. It can cause excessive sweating & 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 a been found in tumors of terminally ill cancer patients!
Any ideas as to what the answer might be? Well, the young girl who submitted the information and the story asked fifty people if they supported a ban of the chemical, known as dihydrogen monoxide. I think that after you hear what the answer is, you will see how our reasoning at times can get out of control. Have you ever heard of dihydrogen monoxide or used it. I'll bet you did, but didn't realize it...since it is H2O...which is what you call "WATER." How gullible can one be? It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
