Turn Your Geek Party Into an Event With "Anti-helium"
Every Geek worth the moniker has inhaled helium from a toy balloon and proceeded to amuse everyone with the cartoon-like high pitch of his voice. I've been doing it almost forever and especially now that I have grandchildren (six and one in the oven).
Now, there's a new Geek inhalation toy: "anti-helium," better known as sulfur hexaflouride. Jay Leno tried it and it's a hoot. Check out this video. Very cool.
Now, I just need to find a source for sulfur hexaflouride so I can turn my geek party into an event.
Cheers!

What will they come up with to keep us entertained. I'm glad I came across your "Anit-helium" article today! I watched the video and it made me laugh. Good start to my day!
SF6 is the most potent greenhouse gas yet measured, 22,000 times as powerful as carbon dioxide. Releasing just a pound of this stuff into the atmosphere has the same effect as running two passenger cars for a year.
Please reconsider the "coolness" of this substance in light of its environmental hazard.
