The site, in 1999
A deadpan mock-official site warning about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide, which is water, to show how science-sounding claims can mislead.
Tom Way made it in late 1997, building on Craig Jackson's 1994 'Coalition to Ban DHMO' page. The joke later fooled a New Zealand MP, and in 2004 Aliso Viejo, California, nearly put a ban on foam cups to a council vote over it.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Weird Web: One page, one joke, no reason. The internet at its best.
