[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;35024415]It's actually completely possible to hold liquid nitrogen in your hands with no adverse effects.
Or so I recall...[/QUOTE]
You can dip your hand into it for a few milliseconds, as the heat from your hand forms a thin layer of nitrogen gas around itself. This gas is still extremely cold, but it's poorer at conducting heat to your hand. More than that and you're in for a world of pain.
As for licking it, well, I read a story about a guy who watched his chemistry professor pour liquid nitrogen in his mouth, and decided to try it himself. He didn't realise his professor was pouring it in such a way that it had boiled by the time it reached his mouth, in other words a small, slow dribble. The guy ended up going to hospital due to ingesting liquid nitrogen.
putting dry ice in juice makes it fucking delicious
why couldn't they have done that instead
[QUOTE=Aetna;35025733]The kids are just as fucking retarded as the teacher, imo.[/QUOTE]
well hey, the teacher is supposed to [i]teach[/i] them things, people aren't just born with the innate ability to tell what's not dangerous, what's a little bit dangerous but not in the long term and what will really fuck you up if you mess with it.
That's not very n[B]ice[/B] of the teacher
Dumb teacher, dumb kids.
Being that the source is ACA, I'm going to say that what really happened was some dumb kid touched dry ice and then his parents made it into a conspiracy about the teachers and sold it to ACA for a cool five grand.
There is nothing reliable on that show ever. It's worse than the worst tabloids.
Them blisters!

How do you explain the:
- Several other kids with frostbite?
- The teacher in the background doing nothing?
[QUOTE=DesolateGrun;35024340]No something worse...
DRY ICE TO THE NIPPLES[/QUOTE]
Even better: Make dry ice legos and force him to step on one.

Stick a piece up his ass, he'll be farting CO2 in agony for days.
Next week's lesson: Playing with mercury!
[QUOTE=Diagger;35024893]The layer of gas in-between my hands and the dry ice doesn't conduct very well that is why if I had dirt on my hands it would freeze my cells because it conducts much quicker. Go ask your University professor he'll tell you. This was back in first year chemistry so I can't give all the details as to how.
To clear this up by hold I mean 2-3 seconds then move it again and repeat. I also don't think giving it to any child was a good idea.
By principal I'm referring to the air acting as a buffer just like the water did, but obviously the air doesn't evaporate which is why you can only hold it for so long without moving it again. I actually held it anyway so...[/QUOTE]
lol if air makes a barrier between your skin and the ice, why wouldn't it make a barrier between the dirt and the ice? hard to believe you ever attended a university
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;35025078]there's the unspoken assumption that
a) they'll be punished by the teacher if they do not
b) everyone else is doing it, and being the first dissenter is much harder than being the second or third[/QUOTE]
Right, so if someone told you to shoot yourself in the foot and everyone else did it, naturally, so should you?
I worked as an intern in a research lab this summer and had to use dry ice to store samples. It went through my glove one day and got me in the hand. That was a bad day. I can only imagine how horrifying holding the stuff with bare hands for any longer than a second could feel.
To be fair, he is a teacher, and i'm sure the kids learnt their lesson.
You have to ask yourself, who was more dumb, the teacher or the kids?
[QUOTE=Chicken_Chaser;35024294]Fire the teacher.[/QUOTE]
More like charge the teacher.
You know, most people know that it's really dumb to hold dry ice. And generally if something is steaming in front of you, you probably shouldn't touch it.
[QUOTE=theninfort;35031881]You have to ask yourself, who was more dumb, the teacher or the kids?[/QUOTE]
That's dumb, of course the teacher is stupid for being able to handle dry ice in the first place and do something so stupid to kids who probably dont know what it is. Remember, they're 12 for fuck sake.
[QUOTE=tom1029;35025801]If you watch the video, the teacher wasnt in any way forcing the kids to hold it like this implies. The kids were doing it because they were sort of challenging each other to see who could hold it the longest.. He should have stopped them, but the kids are the biggest fucking retards here.[/QUOTE]
Yep, people in my science classes used to drip hydrochloric acid onto their hands and see who could withstand the pain for longer. The teacher had made the possible outcomes quite clear, but when she was distracted that's the first thing they did.
People in my science classes were god damn idiots.

your joking right?
Teachers nowdays..
If you stick some dry ice inside a bottle and pour water it it, seal the cap, it will like totally explode!
Why did the kids even do it.
The teacher couldn't FORCE you to handle the ice, you do have a choice.

at least they did it to themselves
people in my science class who sat behind me used to fling droplets of hydrochloric acid at mine and my friends backs
Correct me if I'm wrong but there is also a possibility that the kid was being stupid and play "who could hold the dry-ice the longest. :dumb:" and the teacher was too stupefied to react at such idiocy.
Trust me, some kids are just stupid but like to play it off like its the teacher's fault.
Then again, correct me if I'm wrong.
