- cerealjynx, on 09/10/2008, -4/+607I can't promise you I won't try that, Mr. Savage. :(
- inactive, on 09/10/2008, -1/+486and the million dollar question, where do i get this gas from?
- brutusx, on 09/10/2008, -1/+481Christian Bale hated having to inhale this stuff before each line.
- OriginalG516, on 09/10/2008, -1/+470This is so ***** awesome, imagine the potential.
I want to keep a small tank of it hidden on me, and then start an argument with a stranger. Just start a dispute, turn away from them and sneak a hit out of your jacket, and then flip out at them in Demon mode!!
GIVE ME A ***** Mc VOUCHER! - TehJazz, on 09/10/2008, -2/+352Play it backwards and you'll hear "Large Hadron Collider will destroy the earth"
- superbobd, on 09/10/2008, -1/+267I don't think that was his question...
- elfs1der, on 09/10/2008, -15/+257haha, i wonder what it would sound like if you barfed
- alapoet, on 09/10/2008, -2/+206It's scientific!!!
- dasamps, on 09/10/2008, -0/+172Better yet, learn German and speak it when you have that stuff in your lungs.
- paulieslim, on 09/10/2008, -45/+217that's not Satan..
Satan is a woman. - svendm, on 09/10/2008, -0/+160Only through suffocation.
Sulfur hexaflouride isn't toxic. Neither is helium. But you still need oxygen. - rowjimmy, on 09/10/2008, -4/+156i feel kind of bad for jamie on mythbusters. if you've ever seen videos of their lectures, or just generally watched the show, adam gets about 90% of the camera time, all the jokes, and generally pushes jamie to the mustachioed background.
(wow, i can't believe safari's spell-check has mustachioed as a word) - Dignan666, on 09/10/2008, -1/+145Duh. Jamie's the straight man. Adam's the loud one. If they were both loud then the show would be annoying. You can't have two Lucy's. You always need an Ethel to put some perspective on things.
- katerpilar, on 09/10/2008, -0/+139trial and error my friend
- ghostfaceDX, on 09/10/2008, -1/+130WHEAHHHRRRRE IS SSHHHHEEEE????????
- meatstick, on 09/10/2008, -7/+134That not Satan,that's Penn Jillette
- superbobd, on 09/10/2008, -2/+120Best clip in a long time...short and sweet
- manata, on 09/10/2008, -2/+107I saw a similar thing on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The gas can even float a tin-foil boat.

- trogdorBURN, on 09/10/2008, -2/+85IM NOT WEARING HOCKEY PANTS!!!
- Jektal, on 09/10/2008, -1/+82Or Latin
- sfury, on 09/10/2008, -1/+81yeah but which one of those won't kill me? :)
- inactive, on 09/10/2008, -2/+63This is a must try effect ...to cool to be missed.
- twertyto, on 09/10/2008, -0/+57I glad Digg is always on top of what's really important.
- MWeather, on 09/10/2008, -4/+58Anything that bleeds for a week and doesn't die must be evil.
- Zippo, on 09/10/2008, -1/+53Sulfur hexaflouride and helium will only hurt you if you continue to breathe it and don't take any breaths of fresh air. The lungs are sufficient enough to expel all and any Sulfur hexaflouride within a few breaths... you don't need to turn upside down to get rid of it.
- Hoogs, on 09/10/2008, -1/+51I laughed out loud at your comment.
- naner, on 09/10/2008, -4/+50Do you have to do a handstand to get it out of your system?
- burnin8r28, on 09/10/2008, -0/+44where can i purchase such gas?
...for balloons - IphtashuFitz, on 09/10/2008, -1/+44Man I would love to have a job like that. It's not a job, it's fun! (And you get to hang out with Kari to boot!)
- Enasni1212, on 09/10/2008, -0/+42Argon and xenon are "harmless," to the extent that holding your breath is harmless. In other words, I wouldn't recommend it for extended periods of time, but it won't kill you.
- diggspellcheck, on 09/10/2008, -1/+42In my opinion, Jamie approaches things more from a scientific view, where Adam just wants get right to work and get his hands dirty. If you watched any show where the 2 compete against each other, you see this. For example, the gold fish training, breaking out of prison by cutting the bars, etc.
- AndrewDB, on 09/10/2008, -28/+68If you inhale too much of it .. it will kill you.
- ghostfaceDX, on 09/10/2008, -0/+39Jamie's a badass though... haha that episode where they were trying to see if a truck was lighter if birds were flying around in it... He said he would just fire his intern or whoever it was if he crashed the chopper... 10 seconds later the chopper crashes and Jamie just stands there with the most pissed off look on his face ever.
- superbobd, on 09/10/2008, -2/+40You sir, are retarded.
- squash1978, on 09/10/2008, -3/+41Haha! My digg was number 666.
- twertyto, on 09/10/2008, -1/+38"...and then I said that's not Satan, that's my wife."
- superbobd, on 09/10/2008, -1/+37wtf would you tell people that for...inhaling that ***** is ***** stupider than *****.
- LeadStripes, on 09/10/2008, -2/+37Any gas that's denser than regular air will do the trick, e.g.Argon or Xenon.
- ligyron, on 09/10/2008, -1/+36Adam Savage - Making science fun since 2003
- shotgunefx, on 09/10/2008, -1/+35from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_hexafluoride#P ...
Physiological effects and precautions
Another effect is the gas's ability to alter vocal sound waves. The gas can be inhaled in a small, safe amount and cause the breather's voice to sound very deep.
...
Although inhaling SF6 can be a novel amusement, the practice can be dangerous because, like other inert gasses, it displaces not only the oxygen needed for life, but also the CO2 that is the primary trigger of the breathing reflex. In general, dense, odourless gases in confined areas present the hazard of suffocation. - LeonHRodriguez, on 09/10/2008, -3/+37I'm glad I'm not the only one who believes that :D
- joshf52, on 09/10/2008, -0/+34SWEAR TO ME!!!
- Zippo, on 09/10/2008, -2/+35No no, Bale was gargling small rocks. That's how his voice got so gravelly.
- Suilenroc, on 09/10/2008, -2/+34*System Message* Congratulations! Your skill at [Internet] has improved by 1 point.
- Dopeness, on 09/10/2008, -0/+31The only one that speaks lol :D
- ironiridis, on 09/10/2008, -0/+31God, why do I keep popping open these buried comments? Why?
- MOJIRA, on 09/10/2008, -0/+31Famous last words.
- ghrayfahx, on 09/10/2008, -2/+30Dugg for the random "I Love Lucy" reference
- Narrwald, on 09/10/2008, -2/+29I reported you as offensive that was so stupid.
