drew12, yeah that probably cost like $4 or something. Don’t even ask me how I know that. Oh, okay, I confess – I watched the video.

That can’t have been cheap, xenon is a rare noble gas and costs on the order of dollars per liter. It’s probably as bad for you as huffing lens cleaner which is a heavy fluorocarbon.

I’ll need just enough to make an answering machine message.

Yeah, agreed. I wouldn’t mind if experts did this but these idiots don’t seem to know what they are talking about. Laughing gas is N2O not NO2. And secondly, just by judging the size of the balloon, that was way too much.

Well, other than the danger factor….
That was freakin hilarious.

It is my understanding that due to its potency Xenon gas can be used in lower concentrations than N2O making it a considerably safer anaesthetic. I’m no expert mind but its use in medicine is increasing. Everything is dangerous in the hands of idiots… now wheres my xenon filled lamp ;o)

while not easy to get your hands on, breathing noble gasses, especially heavy ones is incredibly dangerous. It doesn’t get you high like nitrous oxide, it gets you high like huffing paint – it displaces oxygen. It is ridiculously dangerous.
