Website Evaluation

The website I chose to evaluate is about the research of Dihydrogen Monoxide.  According to the homepage they want to provide an unbiased view on the suject.  When looking for the validity of the page I first looked at the domain name, which is .org for this particular site.  Though when looking a little closer at the publisher of this site I found that Tom Way, is a computer science professor and that he created DHMO as a science satire site.  At first glance the site seems like it would be a valid site with all of its links, which some of these links do lead to valid sites.  This site basically leads an individual to believe that 'dihydrogen monoxide' is very harmful to an individual, but what an average person doesnt know or realize is that it is really the scientific name for water.  When looking for information on Tom Way, I ran across a wiki article that exclaimed a young man wanted to ban these sites turning it into a science project named 'how gullible we are'.  After reading some of the artcles on the 'faux' website I found it rather amsuing how he even tried to link school violents with Dihydrogen Monoxide or water.  I agree with the above statement that we are gullible and that we should not always believe what we read and to take a few extra steps to examine what we do read.  And then teach to others, including our students because everyone I think needs to be aware that quite literally you cannot not believe everything you read.
