Not that I'm recommending Roundup cocktails, but if you're scared to drink Glyphosate, don't get anywhere near caffeine. Table Salt is lethal. And if you've got a headache, don't take aspirin. While you're at it, steer clear of Dihydrogen Monoxide. * Some call Dihydrogen Monoxide the "Invisible Killer" * Others think dihydrogen monoxide should be Banned * Dihydrogen Monoxide is linked to gun violence * Dihydrogen monoxide was found at every recent school shooting * Athletes use DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE, or DHMO, to enhance performance * Dihydrogen Monoxide has been found in our rivers, lakes, oceans and streams * Dihydrogen Monoxide is a major component of acid rain * Thousands die each year after inhaling dihydrogen monoxide * Dihydrogen Monoxide can be deadly * Find out the truth about Dihydrogen Monoxide dhmo.org
