Let's hear it for the UMass chemist for playing along impromptu!

Wait, you guys were kidding?
I called UMass Amherst, the Chemistry Dept., and got ahold of someone and
said we have this stuff in our water, and he said, "Oh, you're that guy
from Warwick, right? The glyphosate ban?"
Hey, I thought, I'm famous!
Then I told him about our problem. He said, "You better get right on that
one too, and ban it PDQ. It's worse than glyphosate."
Wow, really? It's that dangerous? "Oh yeah, don't fool around. I hope it's
not too late."
He was pulling my leg? Damn, he had me going. I was about to call FEMA!

Jason,
ARRgh! in our water! That stinks. How did you hear about this, and how
did you find it was in Warwick’s water, and
can people have their water tested for this?

Hi all,
With the recent discussion surrounding the use of glyphosates, I was
astonished to discover that very few people in town have been made
aware of the dihydrogen monoxide situation in Warwick.
Dihydrogen monoxide (or DHMO) is a highly corrosive substance that can
cause severe burns, and is often used as an industrial solvent and
coolant. It is a primary constituent of acid rain, and is a major
contributor to soil erosion all around the world.
The U.S. government does not consider DHMO to be a health threat -
some municipalities even add it to their public water supply to help
maintain PH levels! But if it corrodes metal, why would you want to
put it in your body?!
It is present in the ground here in Warwick in large concentrations,
and I think residents should be made aware of the situation.
For more information, and to get the facts, look here:
