In a hysterical move, the Waterfront posted fake danger signs
to keep people from swimming in the fountains. The signs read "Danger!
Water Contains High Levels of Hydrogen Keep Out" Of course there is
nothing dangerous with high levels of hydrogen since hydrogen makes up
66% of a water molecule. What is funny is that they were counting on
people's ignorance to keep people out of the water
Karem said he was counting on a lack of understanding about water's
chemical makeup, and he thought that suggesting a link to one of the
world's most dangerous weapons -- the hydrogen bomb -- might keep them
from jumping in.
"I thought that with the word … maybe people would not go there," he said.
The best part is that the signs are working. Personally, I think
they should up the ante a bit now that the scheme has been uncovered by
the "ace" reporting of the Courier. They should put up signs warning
about the high levels of di-hydrogen monoxide in the fountains. Then
they can put up additional signs warning about the dangers of Di-Hydrogen - Monoxide. That would be most excellent!
