Nemo: Beer and Coffee are serious things!

I do think this link goes better with beer.
and now for something completely different... "the Larch".
there was a nasty chemical at loose in the WDC school system, at that time they were worried about mercury from broken thermometers. picture people in yellow hazmat suits going through decon after cleaning up the horrible, deadly, neurotoxin... mercury
Ok, Ok, Mercury is a poison, but in its liquid state, it can be dealt with safely, quickly and efficiently without the involvement of multiple people in moon suits.
a couple of like minded people started handing out flyers warning about another serious chemical that wasn't getting enough attention. I thought it was tongue in cheek funny. What gets me is that members of the WDC school board took this seriously - interviewed on TV for posterity. They wanted to look into this nasty chemical and wanted to know why it was allowed within the DC schools. The flyers were all about DHMO or DiHydrogen Monoxide. pretty nasty stuff, it can kill.
here is a link to the DHMO faq.

So many 'educated' people hitting the alarm bells over this make me fear for our society.
