^^ And what was that? Stupid and/or completely useless? It still is. A waste of natural resources? Yep.

It will just make people set it on fire and make bombs with it. Potentially lethal.

**DumberDrummer** · 11-20-2006, 10:04 AM

I would buy one, just to toss a match in...

And bottled water is certainly not useless.. I buy it all the time, if for no other reason than I don't have running water in my room, and its a pain in the butt to get up every 5 minutes to go to the fountain, and I'm to lazy to fill water bottles myself, so...

Wwwooowww, bottled air... Must buy some!

i heard on the news a while back that the uk has air pubs, places that you goto not to drink, but to breath.

on a side note, i used to work in a machine shop, and we had a torch. one of the gases used for it was oxygen. we ran out doing some cutting and had to go get the bottle refilled. as we were paying it we noticed a hazmat fee. was asked about it and the guy said it was to cover any cost do to accidental release of the gas into the atmosphere!! oh, hevens forbit if we were to release oxygen into the air!! it'll kill us all!

**carsey** · 11-20-2006, 12:24 PM

When does it come on sale in the UK....might be having some fun with it.

ebackhus · 11-20-2006, 12:39 PM

Actually, O2 in large amounts is poisonous to humans and animals.

**DumberDrummer** · 11-20-2006, 01:22 PM

everything is poisonous in large amounts... sugar, caffeine, salt, etc..

**Glaswegian** · 11-20-2006, 01:23 PM

I'll be marketing my own brand of Scottish Air very soon. It will be packaged in biodegragable bottles, have a whiff of heather and whisky, and only cost £5 for one litre. Now I just need someone to fill the bottles for me....

**carsey** · 11-20-2006, 01:24 PM

lol. How much is the hourly wage, Iain???

**Glaswegian** · 11-20-2006, 03:32 PM

Well, I suppose it should be the legal Minimum Wage, but since I'm a Scot, that will be around 50p an hour.

**carsey** · 11-20-2006, 05:03 PM

50p a hour...how many hours a day???

**forcifer** · 11-20-2006, 06:33 PM

24 XD

i want some, but if i did, half the neighborhood would be gone.

**Fr4665** · 11-21-2006, 01:44 AM

as eback said this poison level of oxygen some kiddies get high with it too.
