    A hotel local to me just had two people die in April and an 11 year old boy die a couple days ago from CO poisoning and it's all over the national news. It just boggles my mind that the people you had to deal with were that stupid over it. Though common sense is so rare it should be a super power, so maybe it's not that surprising.

      Rock Lobster probably meant carbon monoxide (CO). It's a common error.

      What you've really got to watch out for, though, is dihydrogen monoxide. You really don't want your lungs filling up with that.

        yes, that pesky dihydrogen monoxide. It's EVERYWHERE! It's in your food, your soda, even in your drinking water! We should call for a ban!

        why, even as I'm writing this, I'm experiencing a dihydrogen monoxide precipitation event...

          I once sailed with a captain that, if you were to approach him, and he suspected what the imminent conversation would be about, would already decide what your own whole side of the conversation would be. And that's all that would rattle around in his head, that's all he'd hear. You could say: "The sky is up there (pointing upward)," and he would say: "That's not the ground! The ground is down here!" Numerous protests and re-enumerations later, you'd just walk away, shaking your head in dismay.

            And when they died from the CO2 they would have complained about that too!
