Dry Ice Dare

[Paragon Fury]

Boys eat dry ice on dare [http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/23461319/detail.html?hpt=T2].

Seriously, whatever happened to eating paste?



Oh well. I guess thats one dare.....

*puts on glasses*

....thats hard to swallow.

YEEEAAAH!

So, little kids did something not all that smart?

Nothing really new here.

No, but somehow this strikes me as particularly pathetics. I, mean the stuff is painful to handle, and practically "screams" dangerous....even little kids should be able to get that.

They should, but the judgement skills of people at that age aren't very high. Plus, they probably would not have known what it can do to them.

Would they Fart smoke?

 

[AngloDoom]

...Wuh?

I mean, that stuff is all kinds of pain. That's like trying to swallow a dustpan full of glass shards. Why would anyone think that wouldn't hurt them?

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

So they did something so foolish... for absolutely nothing in return?
*Rereads Article*
Yep, they did it solely because the kid said "I dare you".
Bloody geniuses, that's what they are.

Not that doing it for compensation would've made it right, just maybe 1/1,000,000,000 less stupid, give or take.

damn, nearly a darwin award. Get them out of our gene pool

 

[TheTim]

It'd be worse if they were dared to use it on their nips

I love how the article provides a the location to the school. Give the Internet Hate Machine a chance to send a few "pay-on-delivery" pizzas.

 

[Doctor VonSexMachine]

I am going to use the worlds "I dare you" as my weapon against the hordes of morons I encounter. I just need to find a nice small container for that CO2(l)

 

[cheese_wizington]

These guys have to be pretty stupid to actually drink dry ice.

I mean Jesus Chrice.

This is why natural selection exists...supid, stupid kids -.-

Funny story: I do liquid nitrogen demos for high schools, and my professor once told me a delightful story about an older colleague of his. Now, liquid nitrogen is very cold (-300 Fahrenheit), but you can handle it for very very short periods as long as you keep it moving. (If you let it sit for too long on skin, it causes blisters and can very severely damage your skin). If you are very brave or foolish, you can put it in your mouth and breathe smoke. (If it touches your teeth, the temperature differential can make them shatter.) Apparently this older gentleman was showing some elementary schoolers that he could breathe smoke when he accidentally swallowed the liquid. Now, this didn't cause any harm (the stomach is pretty warm and pretty insulated)... until it began evaporating. Materials expand about 300 times when moving from liquid to gas, and all that gas had to go somewhere. This gentleman was apparently comically flatulent for about five minutes.

The kids loved it, apparently.

Peer Pressure: number 1 cause of injury/death among moronic pre-teens

Huh, I was under the impression dry ice was made from frozen water but to a far colder degree instead of frozen Carbon Dioxide,but like the parent said I never had alot of 1st hand experence with Dry Ice. Though I'm sure Chem/Science classes still say do not eat
ANYTHING unless otherwise instructed.

Though I think saying (Did you know Dry ice isn't made from water? It's really made from Carbon Dioxide) would help prevent this.
