first
Fail is Fail
Thank you for that. It was irrelevant to the fail at hand, but nonetheless very funny for a threadjack attempt.
I knew my voice sounded funny for a reason!
*Squeak*
Didn’t u hear? Helium is the new CO2 XD
He He He…… well that went down like a Pb balloon
They need a proofreader to help them Fe out their sign problems.
So it won’t be B?
Well, I think this is FAIL Au.
Oh C, I have seen better!
I wanted to join in the pun run, but all the funny ones Ar.
lol these guys are punny.
I’m in Ag-ony.
Joke fail. You’re not silverony. Try learning how it works next time.
Pure Au pwnage, sir.
He was trying to be COO’l
I don’t want to breath that in to get a funny voice
What would you like to do to get a funny voice?
HELIUM
SqueakSqueak
You don’t breath in Co2.
390 ppm excepted
you NORMALLY breath in CO2… it’s in the air… just not MUCH of it
the problem with breathing too much of it is that you dont get enough Oxygen
^^^ as I said 390 ppm Is this years average CO2 content of the global atmosphere.
As explained above in K@’s comment…
CO2 levels will not harm you with up to 390ppm (parts per million, just about the most fun units to say) saturation.
390+ would not be recommended…
I had to comment just because I enjoy the ppm reference.
beat me to it… not quick enough on the ‘refresh’ button
Bwahahahahahaha!
No. The problem with carbon dioxide is that it’ll cause acidosis and death way before there’s too little oxygen. Already 5% [CO2] can kill you, even if there’s plenty of oxygen around. The good thing about it is that at least you’ll feel if the CO2 level gets too high, whereas if the oxygen level drops you’re more likely to just lose consciousness and die (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_asphyxiation).
To see the other side of the O2/CO2 relationship in our breathing, see http://www.normalbreathing.com and see also the Bohr effect. Without CO2 in our systems, we could not utilize our O2.
This is a double fail. The ‘O’ in CO2 is actually a zero. (Compare to the real Os in DO and BALLOONS)
I’m glad someone else noticed that. For some OCD reason that irritates me far worse than the main fail.
The container says ‘flammable gas’, I wonder what exactly it is that is flammable. (Presumable neither Helium nor CO2.)
Hyd(rogen) You are being too daned sensible.
*adds r to darned*
I typed it, I swear, bloggy must have eaten it.
Actually it says “Non-Flammable Gas”, it’s just not in the shot, as well as being green. The Flammable gas placard is red.
Doh. I thought it was just really faded. Thanks.
Like the “truck rental”?
Do they really need a non-flammable sign? Can’t people realise that if it doesn’t have a flammable sign it is not flammable?
In the case of the truck getting into a crash, it’s to let the EMS personel know that the gas cylinders in the burning wreckage won’t blow up in mini-fireballs-of-death, and will simple blow their pressure releases and vent harmlessly; thus allowing them to approach and save any victims, without wasting time guessing.
didnt know balloons were THAT dangerous
You haven’t seen The Prisoner.
(Delete redundant post of 11:02 am.)
Hahahaha Win.
Not necessarily- the lack of a flammable sign may mean something isn’t flammable, or it may mean that the shipping company was ignoring safety regulations and didn’t label it properly.
ohoho
just flame it and KABABOoMm..
They also do helium condoms. In case you can’t get it up.
Ooooh the viagra of condoms!
Tried one, but it still stayed inert.
All of You failed. If you inhaled pure Helium, it’d pump out all air from Your lungs, and You’d die. Therefore pure helium is too dangereous, and baloons are filled with a mixture of Helium + carbondioxide, or most commonly Helium + nitrogen. There really ain’t nothin they teach you in States o.O
Ooooohhh what kind of states? Gaseous, I am betting.
I think that is a Solid assumption
Comment win for Stan. US education system commentary aside, he’s spot on with regards to the He + CO2 mixture. There are other gasses that could be mixed with Helium and this marking indicates that this Helium is mixed with carbon dioxide (although one commentator noticed that they did use a “0″ instead of an “O”, which is a fail.)
Then it should read (He) + (CO2) Or Helium + Carbon dioxide.
It actually kind of does. You see they say “Helium (CO2)” which implies that this particular helium mixture contains CO2. Yes, it is badly done since anyone with a functioning brain will think they’re using a parenthetical to (incorrectly) identify the helium, but it is obvious what their intent was if you happen to know about the common practices regarding helium and balloons.
Also Stan, quit with the “hurrr US education LOLZ AMIRITE”. Just because some people are idiots doesn’t mean we all are, nor that all US schools are bad.
I wonder if this guy has enough CO2 to fill 99 luftballoons…
New from Ryan Industries!!!
CO2 filled balloons wit a Particle Accelerator included in each one !
Instant Transmutation of the CO2 in Helium!!!
Evolve Today (even if this is not a Plasmid)
Maybe the fail is in the Helium part. Maybe they intended to say:
“We do Carbondioxide (CO2) balloons.”
Meaning that someone in that truck is just blowing up balloons manually. Ehm. Orally? ORLY?
Someone was confused.
So THAT’S why the party host sounded like a seven year old…
Happy inhaling
Sheesh, I did not know CO2 was in the periodic table elements, since it is a molecule and not an element. Well, you learn something every day!
Or should I say:
FAILBLOG CAPTION FAIL!
To be even more nitpicking, it’s not even CO2, but C02, C-zero-2.
No you idiot, its CO2.
1 Carbon 2 Oxygen
Carbon+4 (Oxygen-2)2
Carbon dioxide, way to fail school.
pootpoot is referring to the sign on the van. The can says C-zero-2. Look at the 0 in C02. It’s thinner than the O in “DO”.
You are one smart dude, rgansaldi. I envy you. But now go back to emptying porta-potties for a living, mkay?
Ohh, now I got what you ment, I apolagize. Now I’ve got to hide me shame… lol
I’m only 16. That’s what I’m seeing in chemistry…
Haha, this is what I was going to say.
Hmmm, which is requiring the flammable warning, the C02 or the Helium??
You haven’t seen The Prisoner.
Oh rearry? I didn’t know that was profitable, I got a lot of CO2 laying around. I’m about to make a CO2 balloon stand.
Periodic Table of “Element”?
Does the poster think this is what the whole table looks like?
http://www.he1s2.com/helium/table1.jpg
Also, neither Helium nor Carbon Dioxide are flammable, so what is a balloon van carrying that is?
fail
Title fail, it’s periodic table of elements, as in more than one….
Fail²: Flammable Gas =)
and this is why we should stop buying things from china
