And this is supposed to be anything other than poorly edited salacious

And this:
"Police seized two Dungeons & Dragons books from McDermott’s Haverhill
apartment after he shot seven co-workers to death on Dec. 26, 2000."
Two whole books! He must have been quite the fanatic. I could see
maybe owning one book, but two? That's crazy!

Maybe we should check all the murderers of the last, oh, 2 years.
Let's see how many of them:
* drink beer
* watch sports
I think people will be ab-so-lu-te-luy shocked. My guess is, there is
a 99.9% match here.
Therefore, drinking beer and watching sports must, of course,
irrevocably lead to becoming a murderer. Just like being a D&D player
must...
(For the record: I do drink beer, I don't watch sports. So I guess I'm
safe. Oh, wait, I play D&D...)

I drink beer, watch sports, and play D&D. I think it might be nice of
me to tell my wife that I am guaranteed to be a mass-murderer. Oh,
also I played Grand Theft Auto once, so I'll probably go downtown and
kill some prostitutes tonight too.

No -- the Herald is a tabloid. It's *supposed* to be exactly that.

More victims of dihydrogen monoxide.

Did you know that dihydrogen monoxide is a major component of beer,
and lots of other stuff people drink? It's very dangerous and it
can kill. When it freezes it can play havoc with traffic.
>* watch sports

100% of convicted felons have large amounts of dihydrogen monoxide
in their urine, ever since urine was invented.
Handling electrical equipment soaked in dihydrogen monoxide can result
in death by electrocution.

*PLAYING* sports usually involves sweat and/or blood, both of which
contain dihydrogen monoxide.
>Just like being a D&D player

Most players try to keep dihydrogen monoxide away from their D&D
books. And dice, even though dihydrogen monoxide won't harm most
dice.

Ah yes, good old http://www.dhmo.org (if it's still there, haven't
checked).

s/freezes/is in its solid state/
Come to that, it doesn't even have to be solid state. There are
conditions in which being in liquid or gaseous state (or rather,
suspended-in-gas) interferes with traffic.

Too big a hint.

It's also used in nuclear power plants.
Traces of it can be found in rain.
There has been talk of D&D making a Plane out of it, but it could have
been an April Fool's joke or something. High level pre-4E clerics can
create it with a spell, depending on how literal you are in the
wording.
It was a plot point in the 80's miniseries "V".
