10 / 12   Life, Unsupported

Description
Apparently nitrogen can displace the oxygen in the air and suffocate large animals who're nearby. Anyone getting a comic supervillain plot?

  I think there are a few gasses that do that. I use Nitrogen a lot at work for degassing molten Aluminum. N.

  Without that warning, I totally would have walked in that container and thought that I could breathe liquid nitrogen. THANK YOU, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS! YOU SAVED ME AGAIN!

  I once stuck my hand in liquid nitrogen. If you do it really fast, the difference in temperature of your body and it is so extreme that your heat creates a protective layer that boils off the nitrogen. (This was done in the presence of a scientist who knew what he was doing, but I still wouldn't recommend it).

  Did the scientist do it first?
