The moment I saw "dihydrogen monoxide", I knew what the joke is going to be. That said, the effects of dihydrogen monoxide do sound rather serious, don't they? *grin*
Something about the term "dihydrogen monoxide" just sound weird to me. I think, if we are going to be "chemisty" about it, it should be "hydrogen hydroxide". Makes more sense than "dihydrogen monoxide". :p After all, protons have some stuff in common with Group 1 ions, and if we are going to say sodium hydroxide, why not hydrogen hydroxide?
