A freshman at eagle rock junior high school won first price at the Greater Idaho Falls science fair. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science related to environmental issues. In his project, the young student 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 and vomiting 2. It is a major component in acid rain 3. It can cause severe burns in it's 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.
He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical (dihydrogen monoxide). 43 said YES, 6 were UNDECIDED, and only 1 knew that dihydrogen monoxide was water.
The title of his project was, ''How Gullible Are We?''
If you don't like me, 1. Take a map, 2. Get a car (even if na borrow), 3. Drive to HELL!. Have a nice trip. ✔
