Okay, so the score is: 1 person got it, and 1 person with no sense of humor.
Considering the general public didn't know about the existence of free radicals until maybe 15 years ago, I guess I can call that a good breakdown.

Yes. It IS one of those "science" things that people have a hard time understanding. But you have to make an effort to understand how Dihydrogen Monoxide (or DHMO) is capable of affecting all life on earth.
NO. I am NOT being an alarmist! Just a few of the facts;
* Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
* Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
* Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
* DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
* Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
This compound is often used in some repugnant ways;
* as an industrial solvent and coolant,
* in nuclear power plants,
* in the production of Styrofoam,
* in biological and chemical weapons manufacture,
* in the development of genetically engineering crops and animals,
* as a major ingredient in many home-brewed bombs,
Both lists go on and on!
Learn the details! Protect our inviroment by ridding the world of Dihydrogen Monoxide.
