SoCal city falls victim to Internet hoax, considers banning items made with water
Mercury News ^ | Mar. 14, 2004

ALISO VIEJO, Calif. - City officials were so concerned about the potentially dangerous properties of dihydrogen monoxide that they considered banning foam cups after they learned the chemical was used in their production.

Then they learned that dihydrogen monoxide - H2O for short - is the scientific term for water.

"It's embarrassing," said City Manager David J. Norman. "We had a paralegal who did bad research."

That's one of the most conservative areas of California, actually. There is also some nice riding there...I might have to hit it this week...

Why exactly would they be considered liberal from that story, gullible maybe... I got a good chuckle out of that this morning though.

Let's apply the "Assault" Weapons ban test to this situation...

Let's see...

Dihydrogen monoxide has a scarey sounding name and can kill people.

Let's ban it, but you can still get the legal non-scarey named "water"!!!

"an odorless, tasteless chemical" that can be deadly if accidentally inhaled

I'd say that their motives were good, not governed by big business or anything. Shame the brians weren't on the ball.

And where did it say they were liberals again? Or is it only liberals who would care about "an odorless, tasteless chemical" that can be deadly if accidentally inhaled?

Of course they must be liberals because they're dims, eh?

Nucular anyone?

Actually, it's one of the more conservative parts of one of the most conservative counties in California.

Don't let that stop N8 though...

It's still a very homogenous white bread affluent area compared to the rest of California.

Hey man don't argue, they're liberal if N8 says so! Besides it's Cali even the Republicans are pot smoking, sandal wearing sun hippies.

Republicans would have not been fooled, they are much smarter.

Yep and they all have gay Playboy posing children and get advice from their astrologers, just like Ronald Reagan.
