Yes!

and that ice is cold?

Yes. My father offered me dihydrogen monoxide regularly.

Yes I did, I have a degree in Physics so its kind of obvious to me lol di(= 2)hydrogen mon(= 1)oxcide(the name for a single oxygen atom). However, this is technically both correct and incorrect! Hydro-hydroxide is a more accurate name for it as it also describes the chemical bonds within the molecule.

1) "The government is totally ignoring the emissions of other greenhouse gases while corralling the media to concentrate on CO2. A prime example is dihydrogen-monoxide which is unanimously recognized by meteorologists as the most prevalent and important of all greenhouse gases (it is also a major component in acid rain). It has an estimated LD50 of 25,000mg/kg. Not only is the federal government ignoring the many plants that produce dihydrogen-monoxide, our federal government actively subsidizes it's production and distribution. Massive amounts are emitted as a greenhouse gas by agriculture and industrial cleaning operations directly to the atmosphere without any regulation what so ever. This obvious corporate sweetheart deal to ignore these emissions, is nothing short of a conspiracy. While an outright ban on dihydrogen-monoxide may not be politically feasible at this time, we can hope for it as a long term goal. In the mean time, there is no reason that we shouldn't be having UN talks to limit its use. The usual exaggerated claims as to what such a ban (or reduction) might do to our economy should be balanced with the knowledge that we don't know what will happen if we don't act now. Therefore, we should act now to keep ourselves free of this chemical and dominant source of greenhouse gas just to be on the safe side."

And it got worse: dihydrogen monoxide is lethal if inhaled, causes severe burns in its gaseous state, and is the major component in acid rain. Prolonged exposure to solid dihydrogen monoxide can cause severe tissue damage. It can, said the city council report, "threaten human safety and health"."

"Di" meaning two, and "Mono" meaning single, describes how water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O). The hoax involves listing strictly negative effects of water, such as erosion or drowning, attributing them to "dihydrogen monoxide", and then asking individuals to help control the seemingly dangerous substance. It was apparently created by Eric Lechner, Lars Norpchen and Matthew Kaufman, housemates while attending UC Santa Cruz in 1989, revised by Craig Jackson in 1994, and brought to widespread public attention in 1997 when Nathan Zohner, a 14-year-old student, gathered petitions to ban "DHMO" as the basis of his science project, titled "How Gullible Are We?""

Yes. Contrary to popular belief, though, the water that we drink often consists of this and other substances, like fluoride. In order to obtain pure dihydrogen monoxide, water must be filtered.

H2O (Water) :-D

It's an archaic term for water usually used in pranks where a letter is sent to people stating there dihydrogen monoxide is in they're drinking water and that said chemical is often found in pesticides etc.

Look at this site, it's hilarious once you realize that DHMO means water: http://www.dhmo.org/

H2O is a very widely spread chemical compound that in it's pure form, causes hydration. Mixed with other compounds, it can other effects.

It's the same as Hydrogen Hydroxide (H-OH).

Thats water.
