My chem teacher in high school insisted that water should be written HOH instead of H2O, because of "the way it reacts," or something to that effect. I assume that means it's more likely to form hydroxides than oxides. And I never really looked into it. I guess the guy couldn't have been that crazy, because I did get a 4 on AP Chem.

Alright, Mr. Reist. I'm not worried about the munchies. I only keep healthy food in the house. And it's not that weed makes you crave food, so much as it makes the experience of eating, as it does any other experience, even more enjoyable than usual. I can't wait to try doing a girl who likes to toke...right after we toke, specifically. But anyway. I think if I want to enjoy my diet, that could be the way to do it. But how would it save me money? I could probably get drunk for under $5. In fact, I've even got enough alcohol in the apartment right now to get smashed to oblivion. I don't know how much weed costs, exactly, as I've never bought it...but I know it costs more than that. So...what? The biggest reason for not doing it is definitely money, but the illegal part is also not helping...especially since that drives up the price.

Okay and...I would never get full on the beer and salad diet. Nor would I much enjoy the cuisine...especially in the winter. I'm more on the...whole food diet...meat, dairy, vegetables, fruits, nuts...and i should eat pulses, but they're inconvenient, full of antinutrional factors, and don't even taste that good, or taste like anything at all. Protein and fiber blah blah...no, really, I should. But I don't have time to cook as it is. I work too much. Yet I still don't have enough money. FML.

It's more to do with the fact that the chemical structure is H-O-H. It's more likely to split into an H+ and an OH- ion when it reacts than it is for the two Hs to split off from the O (the H+ goes off to form an acid and the OH- goes off to form a base). So, for example, table salt dissolved in water is actually a mixture of water, lye (NaOH), and hydrochloric acid (HCl).

There are plenty of reactions which split the hydrogen and oxygen apart entirely; electrolysis, for example. I think it's reactions which involve dipole-dipole bonding which tend to cause that, but they also need more energy to be brought into the system for them to happen since the ground state energy of O2+2H2 is much higher than the ground state of 2H2O (as you can see by how violently exothermic O2+2H2=>2H2O is).

The H(OH) approach is also quite useful in balancing certain kinds of equations (especially acid-base neutralization equations) precisely because it models the disociation of water well, as fluffy stated above.
