Indeed. The greatest threat known to humanity.

It's been known to be fatal in sufficient quantities.
By the way, that was the first I'd read of single-sided surfaces and zero-volume containers. Quite cool when you think about them.

In my line of work, whenever someone asks how something can be lifted into place or supported without any visible means of providing access for a crane or hoist the default answer has always been "Sky Hook". And then one day...

Right you are, I guess. It does have just one "O". I've always battled the instinct to refer to it as hydrogen dioxide but, good gravy, I've no idea what that would be. My brother is the chemist in the family so I've always stayed as far from the study as I could manage.

As for unexpected airplanes passing overhead I now have the urge to keep an eye turned skyward. Just because you're paranoid because you believe the black helicopters are following you doesn't mean they aren't actually following you.
Well hydrogen dioxide H2O2 is actually hydrogen peroxide. Sometimes call oxygenated water. When power goes out I pour some into my fish tanks to add O2 to it. Breaks down to water with an ion of oxygen. Works great.

It's probably Harper and his band of mental rejects removing the possibility of another referendum on separation.

You have to assemble those with a left-handed screwdriver and paint them with striped paint, right? And keep them lubed with elbow grease?

I remember this one, it was hilarious...very funny. Another good one was '1941' , in this case it was the Japs who were invading.

Well, things look okay here now. Last couple of days I saw only two or three planes which is normal around here. Next time I see 40-50 planes appears out of nowhere, I'll probably start shooting at them

I saw a C-17 on Monday, which had obviously taken off from Tamworth airport. That was pretty cool. Didn't think we had those yet, and didn't hear anything about it on the local news, which was weird.

Just because something looks unnatural to you, it doesn't mean that it is.
You probably live in an area with high amounts of air traffic. Those "chemtrails" look exactly like ones I have seen thousands of times, over many different locales.

But, five planes side by side? If I saw one plane leaving those trails, I would not think twice about it. Did you ever see five commercial planes flying side by side?Five planes together is not a normal scenario and that's what made me think about chemtrail. You had to see those with your own eyes to understand how unnatural they looked, I've never seen anything like this before. Also, planes fly from different direction. All those planes were flying from east to west, covering couple of miles north to south.

The Matrix has you...

No, but seriously, check out Wikipedia. There are different drivers for the formation of contrails. If warranted, I'm sure one could easily find a more scientific source:

Contrail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edit: Michael's comments on the previous page are the more common (and science-based) concerns: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/957910-post29.html

If you want to be worried about "mystery gasses" in the atmosphere, why not concern yourself with all those diesel cars and trucks out there that you often get behind and are almost suffocated by the vapors. Then do some research on diesel fumes.....some of the most carcinogenic toxins on earth, almost guaranteed to kill. Check it out! In the top ten of all cancer causing substances....
