December 12th. - Trying to ban snow

Well, it's cold in Bergen. Cold and wet. The snow is falling and the blanket of snow makes the street look like idyllic gingerbreadhouses. Well I want a end to all of it.

The idyllic pictures have to stop, they have to

So i made a fake pettition that said Id like to put a ban on dihydrogen monoxide(H2O if you were wondering) and tried to get people to sign it.

Translation: Stop DHMO

 Because of the many dangers of DHMOdo we demand that:

1. Every merchandise that contain DHMO will be marked with warning on the packaging

2. That the Norwegian state commit to remove all DHMO from Norwegian fauna

3. That the Norwegian State commit to work to fase out all DHMO with a goal to absolutely ban DHMO by 2018

I put the petition in a folder to make it look a bit more official and tried to get signatures

Yeah, Instant authority bitches!

I got some information about DHMO from this site about DHMO.

I stood outside in Bergen city center trying to get people to sign for about twentyfive minutes until I got cold and went in side. In that time i managed to get 5 signatures out of eight people I actually managed to talk to. About a hundred people said they didn't have time. Out of the three people who didn't sign only one recognized it as water. We had a lovely chat. Well done yoy, well done!
You may have noticed that i asked for a e-mail in the petition, well thats because i sent them all an email that said.

Dear Sir or madam. Earlier today you signed a petiotion wanting to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide(DHMO). This sustance is also called H2O or water. All the facts given to you about DHMO are real. Inhaling water will make you drown Injesting large ammounts of water can give you  waterpoisonig which can lead to death.
These facts were put in a way that made it sound scarier than it actually is.
I would like to point out that this was not ment as something done in spite but rather an excercise in how language can trick you. I would like to say that Irecomend your willingness to sign a petition and trust in strangers and I hope you are not angered by this small stunt but rather take learning toward being more critical of what people say.
