Nov 11 2009That....Sounds Dangerous -- I Must Try It!
This is a 9-second video of an evil mad scientist pouring liquid nitrogen in his mouth and blowing out vapor. Why? Because he's mad, yo! Even worse than that tea-loving mother with the big hat.
Though it may look like this scientist is actually drinking the liquid nitrogen, he says that with a bit of practice, "it is easy not to swallow liquid nitrogen and make cool condensed vapor come out of the nostrils."
I would have drank it. I would have drank it and asked for another one. Bartender, another cold one. No, another REAAALLY cold one. You catch my drift? I'm talking about liquid nitrogen. And I want two of those little umbrellas and a plastic cutlass with cherries AND YOU BETTER NOT CHARGE ME FOR THEM. Now, get ready to call the paramedics.

Thanks to naas, who once drank liquid gasoline trying to siphon my gas tank. That's what you get!

I think this guy would be in a world of pain if he really drank it. I don't think it is a good idea to try this at home.

19. naas - November 11, 2009 3:26 PM
@17 his sack froze? Did he drink it with his balls by any chance?

@16 Van Wilder.... I was trying to remember which movie that was from before clicking the link. Correct-a-mundo!

I used to swipe my hand through liquid nitrogen, QUICKLY, so it doesn't surprise me that this dude could do what he did as well...he didn't hold it in his mouth for any length of time. The reason you can swipe your hand through quickly is because the heat around your hand vaporizes the nitrogen so your hand is in kind of a glove of vapour as it passes through. If you held it there for any lenght of time though you'd get burned. Probably the same for what that guy did.

Muy awesome

Leidenfrost effect FTW!

Ummm, yeah. This is really cool looking, but if you swallow any of the liquid nitrogen, you can burn the lining of you oesophagus or stomach... Also, nitrogen gas has a volume 700 times greater than liquid nitrogen. This means that every ml of nitrogen you swallow expands to 700 ml in your stomach, so that even swallowing even a small amount could be at best extremely uncomfortable, and at worst deadly...
But I agree that it sure looks damn impressive.
26. Schteve - November 11, 2009 8:35 PM
You don't burn anything with liquid nitrogen. Physics nerd your science is all wrong. Plus so long as your mouth is open it won't "expand your stomach". That's not how gases work. The stomach will create counterpressure on the gas and either force it down the bowels or out the mouth (most likely the mouth). That being said, when you touch anything cold like ether or nitrogen it can freeze you and it can also dehydrate whatever it touches. There is also the fact that even in your esophagus your body will start to spew it out because gases rise, so damage won't be drastic. I've never heard of it killing anybody, but it can be done.

wow. imagine if the liquid nitrogen touched his teeth, that would likely cause some cracking, or mabey even some shattering. don't try this at home.
28. mfbinc - November 11, 2009 10:42 PM
If i could do that, i'd become a super villian called freeze man and freeze the vault door off a bank and make a million bucks.......

What beast. Although i must say, in my seventh grade career, i indulged in liquid nitrogen dipped teddy grams.

@31 not to be a dick, but that is some of the worst spelling i've ever seen.
Is english your second language, or do just not know how to spell?
33. Discoman - November 13, 2009 10:46 PM
its easy if you try it...once you learn how to do it safely.
