The Monday Morning Memo

People in Idaho were urged to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of dihydrogen monoxide since it:

1. can cause excessive sweating and vomiting

2. is a major component in acid rain

3. can cause severe burns in its gaseous state

4. can kill you if inhaled

5. contributes to erosion

6. decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes

7. has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients

Of the 150 people who were
asked to support a ban of the chemical,

143 signed the petition.
   6 weren’t sure.
   1 knew that dihydrogen monoxide is water.

Nathan Zohner, a freshman at Eagle Rock Junior High, crafted this survey and later won first prize for it at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair on January 26, 1997. The title of his prize winning project: “How Gullible Are We?”
