I especially enjoyed watching them drink DHMO while singing a petition
to ban it.
Or, to quote Bugs Bunny, what a bunch of marons.
Btw, Penn and Teller got the idea from the 'official' "Ban DHMO"
website and the roots of this joke go all the way back to 1989.

The website (originated 1998 but periodically updated) is a brilliant
illustration of irrational 'hysterics logic'.
Statistics can also be interesting. 99.99% of all mass murderers
started out on mother's milk or formula. If we ban both there will be no
more mass murder.
As Samuel Clements, I think it was, once opined, there are lies, damn
lies and then there are statistics.

My all time favorite is a true story that hit the 'news' a number of
years back. A shocking 'scientific study' revealing that 50% of our
school kids scored below average on standardized tests.
ROTFLMAO
The controversy died a quick bug eyed death when someone pointed out
that *is* the definition of "average."
Then again, 11 out of 9 people don't understand statistics.
Well, there are only 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary
and those who don't.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
