Dihydrogen monoxide

Dihydrogen monoxide:

• is called "hydroxyl acid", the substance is the major component of acid rain.
• contributes to the "greenhouse effect".
• may cause severe burns.
• contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
• accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
• may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
• has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

• as an industrial solvent and coolant.
• in nuclear power plants.
• in the production of styrofoam.
• as a fire retardant.
• in many forms of cruel animal research.
• in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
• as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

COX now provides all HD channels to CableCARD customers.

I received a letter yesterday stating that starting May 1st COX Communications was going to stop screwing their CableCARD customers (i.e. me since I use a TiVo) out of a handful of HD channels. Turns out they weren't lying. Way to do the right thing COX.

Vote on the new Kansas license plate.
