Dihydrogen monoxide

This is a really interesting compound. It has so many crazy properties.

But I strongly disagree that it should be banned, as proposed by many ignorant people. Perhaps they should sit for a source-based social studies test with dihydrogen monoxide as the issue.

You should see the molecular structure of dihydrogen monoxide or a comic based on it.

Still... the information being spread is largely true. :P

Some properties of dihydrogen monoxide:
  • Colourless
  • Odourless
  • Tasteless
  • Kills thousands of people
  • Major component of acid rain
  • Accelerates corrosion of metals
We've all been dependent on this compound. The withdrawal symptoms can kill.

(If you still haven't realised, dihydrogen monoxide is water.)
