--In continuation to Dr. Santosh Helekar mail in response to my
mail in Goanet;
Dear Dr. Aureliano
Editor Prime TV.
Please check your facts and your site so called American/Doctor site. Do
you realize that it was a April Fool Joke, played by Americans kids to test
their general knowledge. Sadly you have fallen a victim of this spoof and
have unnecessary drag Multinational AquaFina into this silly joke. At least
now realized that Dehydrogen Monoxide is WATER.? Any scientist all over the
world will voice in same voice that H2O is Water. Unlike social science
where opinions may differ on any particular issue and there may be
controversy. But in science everybody agrees that water is the most
important element for life and therefore scientists are exploring other
planet for water in the Universe and therefore TV anchors should refrain
from calling Dehydrogen Monoxide is a very toxic compound and create panic
among the youngsters who are not exposed to this simple chemistry.
I write this in the interest of you and your channel. Hope you will keep a
little attention to my appeal and shed of arrogance and ignorance which
sometimes will carry along. And will take you and Prime TV to greater
heights.
With Love
Stephen Dias

This must be the funniest post I have read on Goanet in a long time.
Perhaps, the TV news story is a spoof meant to poke fun at crackpot
environmentalists sprouting everywhere like wild mushrooms in monsoon
nowadays. But on the other hand, it might be the price that today's
journalists, TV personalities and their audience pay for ignoring basic
science in high school.
Cheers,
Santosh

/PERSI COLA NEWS IN YOUR PRIME TV CHANNEL
Dear Dr.Aureliano Fernandes
Editor of Prime TV
St Ines -Goa
I have been watching Prime TV two days ago and I thought of writing to you
about one used prominently showing that AQUA FINA / PEPSI COLA is
contaminating its product in water bottles with a dangerous highly toxic
compound called DIHYDROGEN MONOOXIDE according to your news scroll,
this
is highly toxic compound in water bottle is supposed to damage kidneys
etec
according to your programme.
I am surprised because I understand that Dyhydrogen Monoxide is WATER
since
you have referred to a study, please see you e-mail me all the details you
have about the study and from where your news originated.
I being Scientist is very much concerned about the information as this
news
has been affected canteen, departmental stores, and other establishment in
Goa using AquaFina water and made our young generation panic.
Awaiting your e-mail,
Regards
Stephen Dias
