Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless and kills over nine
thousand of people and Pokemon every year. Most of these deaths are caused by
accidental or forced inhalation of DHMO, but that's not over. DHMO is more
dangerous than you think.

Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of
DHMO for humans can include excessive sweating and urination,and possibly a
bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. The symptoms
of DHMO for Pokemon can be complicated. The most common symptom is loss of HP,
fainting and even death. The lesser common symptoms includes lowering of
accuracy, confusion and flinching. Also, the symptoms of DHMO for humans also
apply to Pokemon. Almost every human and Pokemon are addicted to DHMO. For
them, DHMO withdrawal can cause loss of combat power, loss of moves and
even death.

Quantities of DHMO have been found in almost every stream, lake, river, ocean
and even almost every human and Pokemon bodies. Even worse, the DHMO
contaminant has been found in snow, icebergs and even Ice Pokemon. DHMO are
used by Pokemon Trainers as a cheating tool. Its power rivals the Game
Shark. Numerous Pokemon Trainers used DHMO to:

 - reduce power of Fire-type attack
 - boost a Pokemon's defensive power
 - cause immobility to opponent Pokemon
 - strike first in attacks
 - lower a Pokemon's accuracy
 - confuse a Pokemon
 - regain HP for a Pokemon
 - attack a friendly Pokemon
 - attack in critical spots
 - tactical and strategic advantages

As you can see, DHMO is a powerful cheating tool that should banned.
We have proposed the Pokemon Leagueto perform a dihydrogen monoxide check
before every Pokemon battle, to prevent cheating. However, the Pokemon League
has refused to regulate the usage of DHMO in battles due to DHMO's
"importance in tactics and strategies".

In fact, DHMO are used by evil organizations such as Team Rocket and Team
Aqua to design secret high-tech devices to capture and control Legendary
Pokemon. They collect and store DHMO in a secret underground distribution
network and store large quantities for later use.

Please see attachment (example.tm) for an example TM that is widely used by Trainers to
cheat in battles.

You don't know how to read XML?

An example Pokemon battle:
Empoleon used Hydro Pump!
It's not very effective...
Buizel used Dihydrogen Monoxide!
Empoleon's Water defense fell harshly!

Buizel used Aqua Jet!
It's super effective!
Empoleon fainted.

For those of you who don't know this: It's a hoax from 1989.

For those of you who are n00bs to chemistry:

Di-: 2
Hydro-: Water-based
Mono-: 1
Oxide: Oxygen-based

Therefore, dihydrogen monoxide is pure water, extrapolated into chemical terms.

Win.

You just ruined the fun. This, although, isn't the said hoax. If you notice, this is referring to Pokémon things. What's funny is water does kill a lot of people, yet it is needed to live.
Fun Fact: if you drink pure water, you can die from Water poisoning. I'm not talking like bottled water or stuff like that. I'm talking like distilled water, which is just H[sub:340alouo]2[/sub:340alouo]O, no other added things.

Floatzel, use H[sub:gzl2cwi5]2[/sub:gzl2cwi5]O!

The above statement is also true with the element Iodine.
