The potato-brains who decided to use _dry ice_ in the first place were clearly clueless. And as the cluelessness travels dowhill, by the time they get to a technician who _knows_ better, no one’s going to listen because everyone assumes the higher-ups did their research and knew what they were doing. I’ve seen stupid stuff happen time and again no matter how much knowledgeable technicians protested. OR the technicians are told to set up something very straightforward and _then_ find out it’s going to be mis-used (I knew an fx technician who was terrified when the director told an actor to run through a very dangerous pyro effect at the last minute.) It never ceases to amaze me that people do minimal research and assume that “someone else will make sure it’s okay”. ---

The next contest should be to pop various bits of genitalia into liquid helium. ---

But…but…dry ice HURTS when you touch it. It’s almost like a burn. Well, admittedly that’s when you touch it with bare skin (no I didn’t SIT on it, merely accidentally brushed my hand against some when making punch for a halloween party). So, am I correct in assuming that a thin layer of denim or khaki protected the contestants from feeling this initial “warning” sign? Wow, these folks were unbelievably dumb. (ps, LOL@asterions post, you nearly owed me a keyboard!!!). ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by asterion \* > \*\*The next contest should be to pop various bits of genitalia into liquid helium. \*\* As a massive hijack, one of my favorite assignments in highschool was doing a report on liquid helium for a physics class. Crazy stuff - it has a boiling point of something like 2 degrees Kelvin. And it flows uphill. How cool is that! Carry on. I just wanted to remember days of yore.
