I want create some awareness of this dangerous toxic.
The UV is of course the best place for this since it gets the most attention here.

For someone without particular knowledge in chemistry it's sort of obscure though.

It was a joke yes but this hoax has been created (not by me) to show that the majority of people does not even understand what Dihydrogen Monoxide means.

I saw this long time ago in a "Stupid Americans" type of show or segment, where some interviewer goes around scaring people about "dihydrogen monoxide" and mocking them its water. To be honest, I wasn't sure myself what it was exactly back then.

When I read a chemical compound in written form, I instinctively try to resume it to it's letter base elements.
Some complexer compounds based on more exotic elements I might not figure out immediately, but Dihydrogen (H2) Monoxide (O) it's fairly obvious.
Anyone who knows that water is H2O should figure it out without much thought.

I don't watch late night silly ridiculous shows 
I do watch stuff high on sleep deprivation, I only refuse to watch futile TV

didn't know what it was either till I saw the first post here saying it was water. I'm not into chemistry so I wouldn't have known

What is the resultant compound when you Combine Potassium, Nitrogen, and Iron in this exact sequence?

You're wrong man its kryptonite. |
You didn't understand the joke!
What do you get by combining (K) (Ni) and (Fe) "in that exact sequence"

Symbol for nitrogen is N. Ni is nickel.  |
Anyway, the answer would be KNIFE!!

On the internets I'm the smartest ever, so even before anyone said anything about water and then tried being all smartypants about it being H2O I already knew that.
