  1. Anyone who would like can use the red-yellow-orange diagram in anyway they please, no attribution necessary.

    In fact, I don’t want to explain it to anyone from the Department of Homeland Security, so make that “no attribution preferred.”

  8. Comedians lamented the loss of Dan Quayle, you know, because he made their jobs so easy. Doonesbury had whole comics with verbatim quotes. But you know, you have to watch what you wish for.

    I’m hoping that one day, comedians will start writing their own material.

  14. The DHMO Song
    Mark A. Mandel, © 1997_to the tune of “Battle Hymn of the Republic”
    There’s a chemical that poses deadly danger to us all
    If we don’t eliminate it, we are headed for a fall
    But our governments refuse to see the writing on the wall
    They’re going to let us die!

    CHORUS (after every verse):
    Ban dihydrogen monoxide!
    Ban dihydrogen monoxide!
    Ban dihydrogen monoxide
    Before it kills us all!

    Dihydrogen monoxide is a chemical to fear
    Uncounted thousands die of inhalation every year
    Yet the FDA allows it in our burgers, beans, and beer
    And never questions why!

    In gaseous form it’s subtle, without color, taste, or smell
    But it’s part of acid rain, and it’s a greenhouse gas as well
    It’s also found in car exhaust, which makes our cities Hell
    And dirties up the sky!

    It’s widely used by industry, and agriculture too
    They dump it on the ground or in the river when they’re through
    And from the ecosystem it gets into me and you
    Which they dare not deny!

    You’ll find dihydrogen monoxide everywhere you go
    In rivers, oceans, lakes, and streams, in air and soil and snow
    Its quantitative formula is simply H2O —
    You’ll get it if you try!

    How far DHMO has spread no one can safely tell.
    They’ve found it on Europa, and it’s on our Moon as well.
    It may well turn our Solar System to a living hell!
    It’s filling up the sky!

    This verse contributed by Erik Von Halle
    It kills the little children in the safety of their pools,
    It make the politicians always sound like fools,
    Linked to Hypothermia a death that kills and cools
    It’s going to kill us all.

  19. the reality of chemistry is that it’s trivial to find two relatively harmless compounds that can be mixed to form a high explosive.

    at university I knew someone who was quite adept at making Lead Azide, a high explosive in power form made by mixing two solutions, sodium azide and lead nitrate. Although toxic, you could probably taste the ingredients without flinching or dying on the spot! Lead azide was abandoned in mining as it was so dangerous that nitroglycerine was much safer!

    these days, you’ll probably find that trying to buy any azide compound will get funny looks at any industrial supplier!
