Non sapevo cosa fosse il DHMO, così ho fatto una ricerca su wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHMO . Ne riporto il risultato:
"
Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is an obscure name for water used in
variations of a common hoax that illustrates how ignorance of science
and one-sided analysis can lead to misplaced fears among environmental
activists and others.
The joke involves listing strictly negative effects of water, such as
erosion or death by drowning, attributing them to "dihydrogen monoxide,"
and then asking individuals to help control the seemingly dangerous
substance.
The hoax was apparently created by Eric Lechner and Lars Norpchen in
1990, revised by Craig Jackson in 1994, and was brought to widespread
public attention in 1997, when Nathan Zohner, a 14-year-old student,
gathered petitions to ban "DHMO" as the basis of his science project,
titled "How Gullible Are We?"
