This shocking news was broken first by South Knox Bubba‘ weblog. Enormous caches of Dihydrogen Monoxide have been located. The Pentagon explained that
…this dangerous compound causes death if inhaled, even in small quantities. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage, and that in its gaseous form it causes severe burns. It is found in biopsies of cancerous tumors and lesions, and can even corrode metal. Dihydrogen Monoxide is also routinely used in the operation of nuclear power facilities. Oppressive regimes have reportedly used Dihydrogen Monoxide against dissidents to put down uprisings and quell riots.
I think Bubba posted this news in the hopes that this important story gets picked up by every wire service and wingnut message board. Spread it around!
