YES!

Whoa, he does!

sulfur? I can't imagine that smells to great.

Somehow the thought of inhaling something called sulfur hexafluride into my lungs / blood stream seems really unpleasent.

Of course, the ACTUAL!!! reason it makes his voice lower is because it has Sulfur which is the chemical of the devil... and "hexa" meaning six means the chemical is mystically structured with the number of the beast.

Which is why his voice sounds like a demon...

He's actually inhaling devil farts.

What the fuck people? This is the Internet! You're not allowed to have better-halves, spouses, partners, occasional circle jerks, rolling blackouts, tree hugging marathons, gestational periods lasting longer than seven years, green furnaces covered in spruce tree sap, Oingo Boingo ticket stubs from 1984, barbecue-flavored popsicles, blankfist's herpes, sulfur dioxide crystals, porcupine shavings, weapons of mass construction, sanitary napkins shaped like Paul Anka's flaccid penis, mummified chickens, ancient Aztec secrets of pubic hair grooming styles, Bono, testicular fortitude, or lovers!

All your relationship are belong to me!

Here's the choggie PSA
send donations to his paypall account, and help us stop the madness....
(*cue grave-sounding muzak)
"Every minute, of everyday....for hundreds of thousands of years, the planet has made it clear; humans are part of the solution to a critical problem: Organic Compost. In unquenchable furnaces like Etna, Stromboli, and Yasur, along with allll her numerous and hidden, underwater fissures, pumping out what it takes to balance the odds in her favor, she remains dedicated....and with overdue kegs of life-stealing sulfuric acid like Yellowstone, Fuji, Etna, ready to pop, along with Mr. Shinyhot(the yellow round thing), she insures that long after this current iteration of human planetary activity, that there will be a layer of shit like plastic and tin cans, for the next monkeys to enjoy.
Global Climate Change. Aren't ya glad you can say you were there when self-absorbed putties had reason to suspect they made more than a scratch, in the planet's surface???
Give, to the United Negro College Fund, a mind is a terr....oh wait, wrong outro-

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Is Sulfur Hexafluoride completely inert/unabsorbable by the human body? Sure sounds evil.

Don't need a documentary to tell me what to think about Bumfights and their creators. Bumfights is a fucked up product of our pop culture. The people who made Bumfights have their fair share of fire and sulfur waiting for them, and Dr. Phil can piss off too.

Arrrrrgh- The vibe is, for the cheap seats, global warming is an inconvenient truth for most humans....yeah it's warming-the
idea spun here with the G man and his ilk, is that it is the fault of mankind's contributions to genepool gasses..the horse shit part) as in, drop in a goddamn bucket....

Invite me to the fucking picnic, then don't, and now you call me afterward to clean the shit up, shoving the facts up my ass as to why, with a mega-spin hollow wood production number??? Fuck!!! What part of saw me coming can not you see???

-This assuming yall' all know the dissenters point of view that is scholarly, yadda yadda.....

The reasons Theo??? Wish we fucking knew all the reasons, then it would be a lot saner a prospect, making a decision one way the other or not at all.......To alert the world to the prospect of global climate change in our lifetime as being the hard fact that it indeed is, is a noble gesture, and sure, you have to dumb it down for idiots, but, :We are doing it to ourselves, is in fact, horse shit. Oh we are doing a lot of heinous shit to the planet and ourselves, but it is psychic trauma, symbol addiction, and foul programming of meat sacks so- called humans, more than anything else.......

♪ ♫ and the dormant giant Etna heaved, the Pacific Rim moaned, and with her came a 2 year cloud of sulfuric acid....and the planet goes on♪ ♫ ...and on.....and on....♪ ♫ and the sun burns bright, and hot,.....hotter at times.♪ ♫


Seems that in any reasonable time honored scenario, much suffering must come before change...must we suffer the foul stench of Gore's well-intentioned or not, soap-box holograms???(hollow-wood spokesperson in every box!!!)

Kill big oil, kill the fed, kill the EEC, the paradigm, and then the planet will breathe sanity and balance again....right now babies, it's world out of balance.....and our fart gases, are the least of our worries-

Looks like that's sulfur hexafluoride, SF₆

In reply to your comment:
“In the tags, what is "thermate"?”

Many people believe that the molten steel or iron that is shown in a couple of 9/11 and post-9/11 videos is caused by a patented demolition charge coil that is normally wrapped around a steel column in order to cut it cleanly and quickly.

Analysis of steel samples from WTC steel:
http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2006/06/341238.shtml

"Thermate is an incendiary compound used for military applications. Thermate, whose primary component is thermite, also contains sulfur and possibly barium nitrate, both of which increase its thermal effect, create flame in burning, and significantly reduce the ignition temperature. Various mixtures of these compounds can be called thermate, but, to avoid confusion with Thermate-TH3, one can refer to them as thermite variants or analogs. The composition by weight of Thermate-TH3 (in military use) is 68.7% thermite, 29.0% barium nitrate, 2.0% sulfur and 0.3% binder."

Legacy, I'm quite certain your gas is light and expands rapidly. At least it should, for greater effect.
It would probably melt the tin foil boat though...

Sulfur and florine? Be it smells like Hell. Actual Hell. Really.

Oh good I'm glad you like it! Yes its just sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) which is extremely dense and unreactive. Xenon would work also but not quite as well since its slightly less dense, its very expensive too.

I remember sulfur hexaflouride being cool because of its interesting simple structure AND because it purportedly causes your voice to be LOWERED, just like helium causing your voice to be higher, upon speaking after inhalation.
