Here is some funny stats on this dreaded chemical:

1.it can cause excessive sweating and 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 been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients

Out of 50 people asked if they supported a ban of the chemical.

Forty-three said yes, six were undecided, and only one knew that the chemical was water.

Alcohol's fine, so long as it is not contaminated by minute amounts of DHMO.

I prefer mine with a twist of lemon.
