I work with liquid nitrogen and that frightens the crap out of me. It can kill you in two different ways: first, it's an asphyxiating gas, and if you're in a liquid nitrogen plant room and the percentage of oxygen in the air starts dropping and you don't have an oxygen monitor you won't be aware of it or able to do anything about it- apparently you just start to feel confused, and before you know it you pass out, and then you die. Also if someone sees you pass out they can't run in and rescue you, because they'll just pass out too. This has actually happened where I work, brrrrrr.

Second, it can burn you- that happened to someone else where I worked quite recently, they were alright in the end but had a nasty burn which was apparently pretty big and got infected. Don't Google  "liquid nitrogen burn" if you don't want to see some seriously large and ugly blisters.

I had training before being allowed anywhere near liquid nitrogen, and I have to wear a load of protective equipment (oxygen monitor, face shield, big oven gloves, a kind of padded apron thing) and have someone standing nearby to raise the alarm if I was to pass out, so it really freaks me out to think of chefs and cocktail bartenders pissing about with it so casually. There's also that news story about the woman who accidentally drank a bit that was floating on the surface of a cocktail because she couldn't see it hadn't fully evaporated, that was proper nightmare fuel to me- as our 'elf and safety person said, if you ever see a liquid nitrogen cocktail in a bar, get the fuck out of there.

Whatever is up there must really be worth the money and effort. An arse-faced man, maybe? Or a man-faced arse?

"Brrrrrr" is very apt in this instance.

Why in the name of sanity isn't this illegal?!

[BlodwynPig]

Despite what Blue jam says, Likky Nitro (as the kids on the estate used to call it) was the drink of choice back in the early to mid 80s round my way. You'd often see kids on Chopper bikes handing out canisters of the stuff to the local ragamuffins. For a while it was all fun and games, but then they discovered glue and that was that.

If memory serves, she had to have parts of her dietary tract removed due to the injuries she suffers, so for the sake of a single cocktail she's either feeding through tubes or shitting into colostomy bags forever now, if not both. At least with a flaming sambuca you have to shoulder some of the blame yourself if one gives you an injury.

Is this like those Mitchell and Webb "It's all fine though, isn't it?" sketches where we punters just assume something clearly potentially dangerous must be safe because it's available right here and there's signs and everything?

[Emma Raducanu]

That lad what jumped off from a dock and landed face first on concrete and then had his entire head split in two down the middle. When the doctor lets go of his head and it all collapses. I'd always assumed since he was alive through it all, he must be conscious. I hope that was not the case. Poor fuck.

Ditto for dry ice, which isn't as cold as liquid nitrogen but can still cause nasty burns. I'm sure you know this one:

What's that chemical that can frost glass and if you get it on you eats through bone and you possibly have to have an amputation? I bet it goes really well with pernod.

He almost certainly was conscious, if the gurgling and increased breathing when the doctor pushed the two sides of his face together is anything to go by.  He was also using his tongue to assess the damage.  Harrowing stuff.

That used to be the worst thing that I'd ever seen, until I stupidly watched a video of a cartel gang member being tortured.  His face was flayed and his hands were chopped off.  There was a stereo playing 'Funky Town' and 'Sweet Child O' Mine' in the background.  I can still hear his screams in my head.  A literal screaming skull.  That shit will haunt me until the day I die.

That was the moment when I swore never to click on a link to that kind of thing ever again.  I don't think that a day goes by when that video doesn't enter my mind.  Curiosity can be a dangerous thing.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Yes, that was a particularly harrowing episode of " You've Been Framed ". Harry Hill just about  managed to pull off delivering the line " this young man needs to get his head together! ",  for the first video, but he sounded a bit unnerved when delivering the line " well, looks like this feller's quite embarrassed - he really has lost face! Can anyone give him a hand ? Or preferably two ? " for the second one.

I've learned nothing, I guess because I clicked on the link (although I felt fairly confident that it wouldn't be anything too grizzly, what with it being a YouTube link and all).  Turns out that I'd already watched that scene.  I'm a big fan of Dagon.  Criminally underappreciated flick (and the clear basis for Resident Evil 4).

[touchingcloth]

The Bruce Lee story?

The Bruce Lee story?

No, that's Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (the clear basis for the Sega Megadrive game Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story).

No you're thinking of Double Dragon!

The death of "Mr. Hands"...

The Enumclaw horse sex case was a series of incidents in 2005 involving Kenneth Pinyan (1960–2005), an engineer who worked for Boeing and resided in Gig Harbor, Washington; James Michael Tait, a truck driver and unidentified other men. Pinyan and Tait filmed and distributed zoophilic pornography of Pinyan receiving anal sex from a stallion under the alias "Mr. Hands". After engaging in this activity multiple times over an unknown span of time, Pinyan received fatal internal injuries in one such incident. It was informally referred to as the 'Enumclaw horse sex case'.

The incident that killed Pinyan occurred at a 40-acre (16 ha) farm,[14] located in an unincorporated area in King County, Washington,[15] five miles northwest of the city of Enumclaw.[14] Pinyan, and a man named James Michael Tait (a truck driver who lived in a trailer next to the farm), plus another unidentified man, often visited the farm for sexual purposes. After either Pinyan or the other man recorded Tait being penetrated by a stallion, Tait then filmed Pinyan submitting to the same act. During this incident, Pinyan sustained internal injuries including a perforated colon.

Pinyan was anonymously dropped off at the Enumclaw Community Hospital. On July 2, 2005, a man asked hospital staff for medical assistance for his companion. Pinyan was found dead in the emergency room, aged 45. The man who brought Pinyan into the hospital had disappeared by the time hospital staff came to contact him. According to the Medical Examiner's Office, Pinyan "died of acute peritonitis due to perforation of the colon" and the death was ruled accidental.

After Pinyan's death, a video circulated around the internet of Kenneth Pinyan engaging in receptive anal intercourse with the horse, which led to his death. The video was nicknamed "Mr. Hands" or "2 Guys 1 Horse".

The death of "Mr. Hands"...

What's the score with horses? Will they just hump anything? Are they easy pleased? Sex mad?

If a load of cats (or any or other species for that matter) came round here trying to wank me up and make me bum them on film I don't honestly think I would be that aroused... not for any length of time anyway.
