Yes, water can be dangerous but on the other hand we can't live without it :-)

Subject: Re: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - The Answer

I think James means that dangerous substance dihydrogen monoxide. I have been trying to keep dihydrogen monoxide deposits off of the shower curtains for some time now. My understanding is that with the melting of the polar icecaps there has been so much of this dangerous substance converted from its solid form into both its liquid form as well as its gas form that it may wipe out entire cities if they are not evacuated soon. It has gotten so bad that we are now monitoring the concentrations of dimo in our shop, trying to keep it at a controlled level. I understand that many other manufacturing plants are having the same issues. In fact, we now are baking certain PWBs in an effort to drive deposits of it off, but this has proven to be difficult, as it seems to re-appear after just a few short hours.
Just this weekend I heard of at least two people dying due to prolonged accidental immersion in this dangerous substance right here in Minnesota. There seems to be a lot more of it in certain Upper Midwest states and in the Canadian provinces, much more than shows up in Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, or Utah, but even in these states it poses a constant danger. Several people were injured just this last weekend when accidentally coming into contact with the solid form during a major sporting event.

No one understood that Uranium was radioactive until Henri Becquerel in Paris accidentally fogged some unexposed photographic plates in 1896. Uranium today is found in weapons systems and nuclear reactors.  One kg of U-235 can release the equivalent energy of 1500 tons of coal.

FEQAB wants to be fair to all of our TechNet community time zones (or at least as fair as possible)so on Friday, February 1st at 7:30 AM Central Standard Time US, per the Rockwell Collins Firewall clock, I will be sending the Friday Element Quiz Question for this last element. Good luck to everyone as the clue will not be easy.
