We all remember Gary Larson’s famous “Midvale School for the Gifted,” where the supposedly gifted student can’t operate the door marked “pull.” That’s what came directly to mind when I saw this story: “Gifted Student Hospitalized After Drinking Liquid Nitrogen.” I’d say he’s not that gifted.
Of course, I consider myself pretty bright, and I’ve certainly done some pretty bone-headed things in my time ;-) ! I never tried to drink liquid nitrogen, though.
