Oh, no, the threat of dihydrogen monoxide, while known to the point of banality to many of *us*, is actually quite poorly understood generally. Just a couple months ago I showed the website to two office mates who had never seen it or heard of the potential danger. The university actually keeps a whole tub of the stuff right outside the main office. Nothing's been done about that, but at least everyone knows to be more careful about it now.
Really? Well, it still seemed pointless to LJ about it in this case, but I'll definitely mention the urgent crisis to my students. Why aren't we at Threat Level Red?
