Can You Safely "Drink" Liquid Nitrogen?

[whozum]

Another trick you can do is to "drink" LN2. since the nitrogen will vaporize when it gets near your tongue, it will float on an insulating bed of
nitrogen gas and not actually freeze your tongue. You can then blow smoke
and impress your friends. Important Note: don't drink very much at a time
(just a sip) otherwise your skin temperature may eventually get to freezing,
and also do not actually swallow since your epiglotis will seal off your
esophagus and hold the LN2 long enough to freeze the surrounding tissue.

Where can I see a video of this? Has anyone tried it or know someone who has? What are your thoughts if I said I wanted to try it?

My professor actually did it when I took gen chem. He then spit it out all over the place.

Anyone else have input? I was hoping GCT would make an appearance.

[edit:Its just a page describing how to make a drink called "liquid nitrogen."

I just thought this might not be good for physicsforums?]
