A student at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical “dihydrogen monoxide.” And for plenty of good reasons, since: - it can cause excessive sweating and vomiting
- it is a major component in acid rain
- it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
- accidental inhalation can kill you
- it contributes to erosion
- it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
- it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients
He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical. - Forty-three (43) said yes,
- six (6) were undecided,
- and only one (1) knew that the chemical was water.
The title of his prize winning project was, “How Gullible Are We?” He feels the conclusion is obvious. |

Dear Ryan,
I dunno who you are anymore. The old Ryan wouldn't dare to even think about such a thing, let alone do it. And now, last night, this morning, you actually went to do it. Do you have any idea what would happen if you got found out? If anything went wrong? There are so many if's and what if's in this plan, and you still went on for it, head first, just like you always do. Have you any idea what might happen if someone found out about it? There are so many loopholes, so many things that can happen, that can go wrong. And you still went for it.
Despite everything i said, what's done is done already. Now, all we can do is to wait and to hope, to pray, to believe that everything will work out the way you want it to be.
Because if it happens to turn out otherwise, then it'll be the end of the world.
Yours always,
Chase
