> Ok, I finally read that stuff about dihydrogen monoxide. I happen to be a chemist and I cannot believe that someone else hasn't explained this to you yet.
> Dihydrogen monoxide is water! That's right, plain old water. See the formular is H20. 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen to make up each molecule. Thus, dihydrogen (meaning two hydrogens) and monoxide (1 oxygen).
