anyone see the penn&teller bullshit episode where hippies signed up to ban (di) hydrogen monoxide..... that was hilarious!
I did the DHMO once in a college class for aspiring teachers. 90% raised their hands when I asked if we should ban it.
Then I said, let me show you the chemical formula of this dangerous substance and wrote
H2O on the board.
I asked again, how many of you want to ban this. Two hands went up.
I asked if they knew that H
2O was the formula for water. One of them replied that they were both going to teach elementary school, so didn't need to know anything like that. Assuming they ever managed to pass their certification tests, right now, these two are currently out there "educating" innocent children.
