mailin 0 #3 June 7, 2004 lol There was a town in CA that almost banned DiHydrogen Monoxide because of that website - they didn't read too carefully obviously. I just laugh at how much people really feel they have control over JenArianna Frances Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote In 1997, Nathan Zohner, a 14-year-old student at Eagle Rock Junior High School in Idaho Falls, based his science fair project on a report similar to the one reproduced above. Zohner's project, titled "How Gullible Are We?", involved presenting this report about "the dangers of dihyrogen monoxide" to fifty ninth-grade students and asking them what (if anything) should be done about the chemical. Forty-three students favored banning it, six were undecided, and only one correctly recognized that 'dihydrogen monoxide' is actually H2O — plain old water. link - topher "...there is a there out there..." - Tom Robbins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seekfun 0 #11 June 7, 2004 Quote Good job we don't let 9th graders make public policy. I don't know; this is pretty creative. And sometimes, maybe they'd do a better job at public policy than our current legislators, et al....

Fast 0 #12 June 7, 2004 Penn & Teller did this on one episode of thier show "Bullshit" They got a couple hundred people at a nature rally to sign a petition for banning it. Gullable people who follow the flock and do whatever. People really need to learn to think on thier own. If your gonna go out and sign something or work towards banning it then you really need to know what the hell your talking about. /rant off~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

ryoder 1,590 #15 June 8, 2004 QuoteLove it. Reminds me of The Man Show when they went to a mall and asked women to sign a petition to stop women's suffrage. That was GREAT! I felt so sorry for that one poor woman who was frantically running around trying to stop the morons from signing it. I still think every idiot who signed it should have had their suffrage permanently revoked. Fools like that should not be allowed to influence elections."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
