Pneumono ultra micro scopic silico volcano­coniosis is a lung disease – and a long disease. The longest English word that’s not a chemical.
sarekofvulcan:
@robinbloor Actually, it’s a made-up lung disease. :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
robinbloor:
@SarekOfVulcan It’s factitious but not fictitious. Like dihydrogen monoxide.
sarekofvulcan:
@robinbloor /DHMO/ Did you know that’s a major component of acid raidn?
robinbloor:
@SarekOfVulcan I’m told that chemical companies in California have been dumping it into local rivers.
scottsigler:
@robinbloor what’s your source on Cali chemical companies dumping into watershed?
robinbloor:
@scottsigler ur joking, right?
scottsigler:
@robinbloor Um, no. I live here. What’s your source for that story? A link? Journalism or word-of-mouth.

@scottsigler DHMO (Dihydrogen Monoxide) is water. It’s a long running joke (since 1997) to accuse companies of polluting areas with DHMO.
scottsigler
@robinbloor wow. Hysterical.
