Sign This Petition?
Alert alpha geek Zach spotted this great Penn & Teller video where a campaigner convinces hundreds to sign her petition to ban a chemical substance.
The chemical substance in question? Dihydrogen monoxide. That’s… H2O. Water.
Pretty hilarious.

That substance should be banned! Everyone I know who has died has been involved with that substance at one time or another. Such a sad commentary on the human condition…

I’ve been a fan of the Dihydrogen Monoxide Reasearch Division for years. (http://www.dhmo.org)
I used to have one of the banners on my front page, but it got relegated to the science page several years ago after a major site redesign.
