Dihydroxymonoxide is a fancy chemical name for water? Sadly, no! Dihydroxymonoxide would be two hydroxyl radicals (O-H) bonded somehow with a single oxygen atom and whatever this concoction would be called, if it could even exist, it wouldn’t be water, which using this nomenclature would be called dihydromonoxide.

A woman with a petition went among the crowds attending a state fair, asking people to sign her petition demanding the banning of dihydroxymonoxide. She said it was in our lakes and streams, and now it was in our sweat and urine and tears.

She collected hundreds of signatures to ban dihydroxymonoxide -- a fancy chemical name for water. A couple of comedians were behind this ploy. But there is nothing funny about its implications. It is one of the grim and dangerous signs of our times.

This little episode revealed how conditioned we have become, responding like Pavlov's dog...
