It's like saying:
- Either drink milk or coffe, DO NOT put milk in your coffe, that's
counter productive!

Just trying to keep an open mind...

Coffee and milk are well known poisons.

I once asked an expert COBOL programmer, how to
declare local variables in COBOL, the reply was:
"what is a local variable?"

It's worse than that, coffee is made with DiHydrogen Monoxide (also
known as Hydrogen Hydroxide) which is a well-known factor in thousands
of deaths every year (as well as being a bad influence on the greenhouse
effect and very corrosive).

Milk also contains large quantities of this substance, which may account
for its toxicity.

That's what it is :) You can write it as H<subscript>2</subscript>O or as
HOH, it still is the same thing. It's the most damned substance, because if
there's not enough of it (imagine a desert or an empty pool you're falling
in:) you have a problem and if there's too much of it (imagine a tsunami)
you have another problem, and yes, over the time it turns your car into a
selfmoving garbage :)

Hush. You are spoiling the effect. We could have a long
discussion of the relative performance of hardware exposed to
monoxides vs dioxides, for example. It could get crossposted to
some chemistry group, thus giving it a long life.

In vapour form it is also one of the worst greenhouse gasses, it traps the
heat better than most of the others. It also breaks down ozone (there was
someing in news reports about that the other day). And it is, of course,
the major component of acid rain <g>. (In fact all of the examples on
www.dhmo.org are correct, they are just worded in the same way that typical
food 'scare' stories are done.)

And don't think what fish do in it...

Google's translator (Systran) does not recognise the phrase "å­æ›°"
(Pinyin zi3 yue1, Confucius said). In this case the å­ is short for å­”å­
(kong3 zi3, Confucius). In this usage the meaning of å­ is a polite way
to refer to somebody respected. The character å­ also has the meaning
"child" or "son".

Anyone see the Penn and Teller Bull$%^& episode on showtime a
while back where they went to a "earth first" style eco-whacko
rally and got everybody they could find, including a
spokesperson for one of the groups to sign a petition to "ban
dihyrdogen monoxide"? It was a riot.

No, but I can imagine. Unfortunately such spoofs need to be
balanced by others deriding the action of the "destroy and grow
rich" style rabid rightists, such as attempts to build more fission
reactors in preference to economies such as a higher CAFE.
