2. Isn't that the same stuff they use in nuclear reactors to cool them?
That can be some dangerous shit. People can die from too much exposure to it.

5. I'm pretty sure Cheney authorized its use to extract information
from the detainees down at Gitmo.

7. Yes, it's dangerous: everyone who has imbibed it has ultimately died.
And some have suffocated when immersed in it.

But I won't sign the petition because it does not properly label the chemical: dihydrogen monoxide. The 'mon' is essential to indicate that it is one atom of oxygen per two of hydrogen. Otherwise, we might accidentally be advocating the banning of hydrogen peroxide, a useful antiseptic agent.

11. It's only dangerous...
If you ingest too much... and it's dihydrogen monoxide. Two hydrogen, one oxygen.

12. The solid state is even worse!
Massive economic damages or lost lives occur each year from uncontrolled deposits of the solid form!
