I think we all need our computers to do this for us ... especially when we are trying to write and the words aren't coming, LOL!

Cute! I sent it to my roommate, and she looked at the rest of the page, and then she found a tricky logic puzzle which we sent to a former professor of ours and he challenged us to solve it. It took us a great hour to solve (meaning that we didn't have to do real work for a whole hour).

And she thought this was especially funny (given that a few BME PhD students who read it agreed that the horrible chemical should be banned after reading this .)

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?

Awwwwwwwwww. /me gives her computer a great big hug for being so sweet!

Thanks for sharing, Kathy.

LOL, I loved that. If only my computer would do that to me regularly.

Because Hydrogen always has to be special and difficult...pssh.

And because, while polar, water is closer to covalent than ionic. So we name it as a covalent compound -- or we would, if anyone bothered to actually call it anything other than water.

There's a song , too.
