So let me see if I've got you right on this, because if so that is really beyond the pale:

No Wonder Woman?

Missed opportunity. You should've said, "What are you smiling about? I was talking about me sitting in this chair while I fucked your corpse."

See? Oh, and then throw something in there about Anne Frank in case she's Jewish.

Here's something that I'll leave public:

I just came from OfficeMax, where I went to buy a new executive chair for my computer desk. There was a cute gal who was helping me pick the right one. (Mind you I didn't need help, but who am I to turn down assistance from an attractive clerk?) After I tried out several of them she asked me if I liked a particular one, so I said "Yes, this one. But do you think it can support the weight of two people?" Too much? She smiled; it seemed genuine, not a polite-but-secretly-offended smile.

Should I mention that my son was with me, but he was over in the next aisle, also trying out chairs?

She was strong too. She carried that chair in its box from the storage room to the counter like it was a helium beach ball. I wonder if she would dress up like Wonder Woman? Her hair was short and red, but I'm flexible.

Holy crap, that was from Withnail? I've been saying this all along, Vin Diesel is a fucking hero.


Only in the same way Hugh Laurie is a real doctor, David Caruso is a real crime scene investigator and Robin Williams is really funny.

now inhale sulfur hexafluoride!

I like how he reacts as though he's never seen this done before.


Seriously, what planet is he from?

Your video, Vin Diesel Swallows Helium, Hilarity Ensues, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

exactly, they're both talking as if this was recently discovered and that kids haven't been inhaling the helium out of birthday balloons since they learned how to talk!

Vin has surely come a long way since multi facial, that's for sure!

movie stars on talk shows on helium, chuckle

movie stars on talk shows on nitrous, AWESOME !!

to completely bust your balls, you should in my own opinion, change the title to INHALES helium, he is not eating it, he does not swallow it, he breaths it, in hhaaaaaaalllesss it.


'jes sayin

(wonders if jigga even notices)

McBoinkens: think of hydrogen as having potential nuclear energy. In the same way that wood or paper has chemical energy, i.e.

C + O2 + activation threshold energy --> CO2 + additional energy given off

then, from a nuclear perspective,

H + H + activation threshold energy --> Helium + additional energy given off.

but in this case, the element hydrogen becomes helium not by changing or sharing electrons but by jamming two nuclei into one atom.

All elements have potential nuclear energy and if you pump energy in they get closer to iron on the periodic table. Higher-level elements give off additional energy when they undergo fission (e.g. uranium in power plants). Lower-level elements give off additional energy when they undergo fusion (e.g. hydrogen in a hydrogen bomb).

The only thing that you have to do is provide sufficient energy to overcome the threshold. That can be a very big amount, but if you harness it, you can use it to keep the process going in the same way that you can use a pile of wood to keep a campfire going because it generates its own heat. The sun essentially works like this.

HAh! reminds me of the time in the lab when we had a baloon full of anti-helium and we told George to do the high-pitch voice thing!

I agree. A hydrogen balloon would have exploded almost instantly once catching fire. Here the boom doesn't come until the balloon is nearly gone and is likely an electrical explosion.

Looked to me like the balloon itself, the paper-like material, was the thing that caught fire. And the explosion was caused by contact with the power transformer. Therefore, it probably was helium.

Is it Helium or Hydrogen?
