how much colder is liquid Nitrogen than liquid butane?

Doesn't matter, we're not letting you play with butane in any form. Here's a balloon, go throw it in the nitrogen and see what happens. :biggrin:

*passes around chips and dip for the spectators* Okay, folks, just stand far enough back from the nitrogen tank while tribdog is playing with it. We only have room in the cryogenic facility for one frozen PFer.

That's a new one. But trib has a whole tank of liquid nitrogen to play with, so he can take care of any frozen broccoli cravings you might have.

Others may taste any of our fabulous non-alcoholic beverages : we've got Cranberry, Orange, Lime, Tomato, Pineapple, Coconut Juice, Lemonade, Pepsi, 7 Up and SunDrop.

Danke shoen, Polyb ! :approve:

He can keep the beer and yager cold!:biggrin:

"Ho! Ho! Ho! to the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe.
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
And many miles be still to go,
But under a tall tree I will lie,
And let the clouds go sailing by."

BARTENDER: Say ye what souplies ye may be needing!

You're carding for Coors? I'm sure that counts as a softdrink. But when that's what they ask for, it's always a tip-off they're underage, isn't it? :biggrin:

Ivan, your beer's coming right up. :approve:

I dropped my balloon and it floated away before I could dip it. Can I have another one?
I wouldn't have dropped it, but did you know you can't move your fingers if you accidently dip them? Do you have any tape? I need to tape my pinkie back on before it melts or it won't stick.

Tribdog,

Nitrogen is a liquid at 77 K (-196°C / -320°F ) at 1 atm pressure.

n-butane is liquid at 272.4 K (-0.6 °C / 31°F) at 1 atm pressure.


I agree with Moonbear, stay away from things flammable. :wink:

I would also recommend staying away from things very cold. :biggrin:

But since this is a suggestion box - http://www.physik.uni-augsburg.de/~ubws/nitrogen.html

Adult supervision required. :biggrin:

*hands tribdog duct tape* There, that should work on the finger. Gokul, do you have his whiskey ready? I think he'll be ready for the first shot as soon as the finger thaws.

What color balloon would you like? I anticipated you might have trouble and got a whole bag of them.

I saw them put an eraser in Nitrogen on TV, then they took it out and set it down and it exploded a little while later. Think the Butane would freeze the eraser quickly enough?
I once worked in a par-bake bread factory. we froze the loaves of bread with nitrogen. I had read that you can make really really good ice cream with nitrogen, so I brought all the ingredients to work, but they caught me and wouldn't let me make my ice cream. Apparently I almost made them lose their "kosher" status.

Nice going Polyb ! Here's anither Guinness for ye !

Astro, you thirsty ?

Tribdog, throw that pinkie away. What d'ya need it for anyway ? Your not British, remember. Just stick that stub in this here pail of LN2 and it'll be just fine.

We make LN2 icecream for our Physics Summer parties. They taste terrible

Glenmorangie - single malt whisky.

Guinness Stout!

BTW - GS goes well with pecan pie, but the pie has to be made with Karo syrup. It's something that some Brits came up with.

Gokul! Quick! Bring the whole bottle of whiskey! Hurry! We have to pour it in his mouth before his lips fall off! Trib, don't try to talk, stay still, wait until we thaw you out or you'll break your lips clean off!

That's the only way I know how to make pecan pie...the recipe off the Karo syrup bottle. Okay, I'll get the pies ready. It won't take long, Gokul's got some really nifty, hi-tech stuff in the Suggestion Box kitchen.

One Glenmorangie here...no water...no ice. That good, Astro ?

Where'd polyb go? I thought he was helping. I'd help out, but I'm still thawing tribdog's lips over here. :biggrin:

Since tribdog had his unfortunate accident, me figured that whiskey was in order! Got ten whole cases! The good stuff too!:biggrin:

anuther song lads and lassies!:biggrin:
"As I was a-goin' over Gilgarra Mountain
I spied Colonel Farrell, and his money he was countin'.
First I drew my pistols and then I drew my rapier,
Sayin' "Stand and deliver, for I am your bold receiver."
Musha ringum duram da,
Whack fol the daddy-o,
There's whiskey in the jar.

He counted out his money and it made a pretty penny;
I put it in my pocket to take home to darlin' Jenny.
She sighed and swore she loved me and never would deceive me,
Bu the devil take the women, for they always lie so easy!
Musha rungum duram da

I went into me chamber all for to take a slumber,
To dream of gold and girls, and of course it was no wonder:
Me Jenny took me charges and she filled them up with water,
Called on Colonel Farrell to get ready for the slaughter.
Musha rungum duram da

Next mornin' early, before I rose for travel,
A-came a band of footmen and likewise Colonel Farrell.
I goes to draw my pistol, for she'd stole away my rapier,
But a prisoner I was taken, I couldn't shoot the water.
Musha rungum duram da

They put me into jail with a judge all a-writin':
For robbin' Colonel Farrell on Gilgarra Mountain.
But they didn't take me fists and I knocked the jailer down
And bid a farewell to this tight-fisted town.
Musha ringum duram da

I'd like to find me brother, the one who's in the army;
I don't know where he's stationed, be it Cork or in Killarney.
Together we'd go roamin' o'er the mountains of Kilkenny,
And I swear he'd treat me fairer than my darlin' sportin' Jenny!
Musha ringum duram da

There's some takes delight in the carriages and rollin',
Some takes delight in the hurley or the bollin',
But I takes delight in the juice of the barley,
Courtin' pretty maids in the mornin', o so early!
Musha ringum duram da"

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

My lips feel much better now. give me a kiss.
Since polyb's gone can I sing a song?
Does the band know "House of the Rising Sun"?

there is a place in PF2:
Gokul's Suggestion Box
Come one, come all and have a drink
No Coors for JasonRox

Ivan hates the public.
Evo hates her boss.
Moonbear, she hates replacing
the things that tribdog's lost.

We'll make a pie for Astronuc
While I sing this song.
Boulder, Franz and matt will dance
I hope they don't for long.

Oh dear, I shouldn't have tried making nachos after a cosmo and two hurricanes. *wipes cheese off one of the picks* Here's your pick. :biggrin:

I guess I better go warn the band they're using tortilla chips to play...it might explain why they're sounding out of tune and swearing a lot. *cringes*

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure I put pecans in the pecan pie.

I think this may be one of the fastest growing threads to date.

Also, I don't deal with the public. :wink:
