   Hmm, is that safe?

   And I thought you have to make a handstand after you inhaled Sodium Hexalfluoride to get it all out of your lung.

   nitrous oxide (laughing gas) does the same thin just not as dramatically. have you ever done a whip-it?

   I wonder what would happen if you breathed helium AND sodium hexafluoride at the same time…?

   (Aside from getting a major case of the dizzies, that is…)

   @Denita.

   I was thinking the same thing. I think it would be more of a squeaky low pitched voice, because the heavier gas would stay longer (hexafluoride) while the lighter gas (helium) rose. I’m no scientist though.

   just one thing… it’s sulphur hexaflouride (SF_6) *not* sodium (Na) …

   Fixed, I knew that - thanks Andrew!

   Oopsie, I also called it “sodium” instead of “sulphur”. My bad!

   Eeh, we were only off by a mere five atomic numbers…
