Russians will inhale anything the mad bastards. Not really much point in banning it though seeing as they say themselves that it is 'untraceable'.

I used to scrape out the vacuum Degasses at the steel works every Wednesday, scraping off the crap around the inside of a pipe that span from the floor to the caster top landing. This De-Gasses used Argon flushing, twas obviously isolated & gas check performed before i was allowed a permit to work inside there.

Reminds me of the chap who handed in his notice at the helium factory, apparently he didn't like being spoken to in that tone of voice :lol:

Since Argon is about 1% of the atmosphere, it's not going to be easy to find someone who hasn't inhaled it!

But a large intake of Argon gas is very dangerous in confined areas as it more dense than air, breath large amounts in & it will fill your lung capacity hence will kill you

Never mind that, have you ever sniffed or lit your own farts? If not, you haven't lived! :D

Nothing like the aroma of your own farts, as for lighting them - beware the blow back!

My sense of smell is almost non existent

If I can smell something everyone needs to be worried, or maybe they already collapsed and died

How would you describe the aroma? Rancid duck egg, with a hint of putrified drain gas, or perhaps a more full-on mustard burp with a smidgen of old man's arse-chuff?
