A friend sent me an e-mail this week that included the YouTube clip I've featured here. It made me realize just how gullible our society can be! After watching the clip, I decided to type "dihydrogen monoxide" into my Google search and was amused to see what all came up. Snopes and Wikipedia both had articles regarding hoaxes, but one of the more entertaining sites I found was the DHMO homepage.
In this Internet age of ours, it's important that we check out the "facts" we're bombarded with. There are several "myth-buster" sites out there, but my favorite has always been Snopes.
So, please...before you open your mouth (or hit that forward key).... check it out!! It might save you some embarrassment.

I began blogging in earnest at Yahoo360 on October 24, 2005. (briefly using LiveJournal and blog-city prior to that) In June 2008 I moved to Blogger. I'm now at WordPress where I hope to remain.

We are gullible. I still don't know what it is. The dogs are in the house so I have the sound on mute.
That is hilarious! I'd imagine that I'd have been fooled too... :)
I have to say I am not surprised. Did you notice that most, if not all, of the people asked to sign were pretty young? Also, the young lady with the petition was attractive. It would be interesting to see what the results would be if they had used an unattractive petitioner asking older(life experienced)people to sign.
