  3. Hey! -Watch out for that DiHydrogen Monoxide crap, man!!!
    Check Teh Facts!!!!!:

    1. Since 1946, and probably before the Industrial Revolution, Every known aquifer in the United States has been contaminated with DHMO, especially those in New Jersey and Delaware.

    2. Due to its polarized arrangement of electron bonds, DHMO is frequently used as an industrial solvent.

    3. Several people are injured or killed each year due to excess exposure to, or intake of DHMO.

    4. Accidental inhalation, even in small quantities, has caused death in several individuals.

    5. A chemical cousin of DHMO has been used extensively in the manufacture of atomic fuel rods and weapons-grade plutonium.

    6. DHMO has been found embedded in human and bovine muscle tissues in rural England from 1992-1998; and also inside cancerous tumors.

    7. Once DHMO gets into food, it is almost impossible to get out completely.

    8. One or more chemical advocacy groups have tried to counter the claims of DHMO.org and have tried to rename it the more benign and people-friendly term “Hydrogen Hydroxide”.

    9. As of this date, there isn’t a filter yet made that can remove DHMO from drinking water. More than 95% of them end up refining the substance.

        It’s the “lukewarm” part you have to watch out for especially. Doubly so in summer. It doesn’t take hardly anything for a nasty little bacterium to find itself a home in your mug.

        Nice mix. And that was a smashing T-shirt, by the way. What is the small lettering on your left shoulder? Disclaimers?

      2. Dude. :( -sorry to hear about your pain and suffering. I had the same thing a month ago.
        If we’d only been chatting about the evils of DHMO sooner, maybe I could’ve helped!

        Don’t be a stranger; next time just email! -I’ll do whatever I can.

        Feel better!

    Those fireworks weren’t actually that innovative - they’re traditional Chinese fireworks. They’re just flares on a string hung by a parachute, if I understand them correctly. There’s all sorts of them that we never really see outside of SE Asia. Another classic is the concussions - ones that don’t look impressive but make one hell of a crack. Back in 1999 I lived in Hong Kong during Chinese New Year and saw what is, without a doubt, the most amazing fireworks display of my life. The concussions there were so strong the air compression wave ruffled everyone’s hair and made towers sway. Will find links in a bit.
