"What was really astounding about Michael's case is that the liquid nitrogen instantly expanded from a volume of about 3 or 4 cc's to about 3 or 4 liters and then dissected into five separate body compartments"

Yes, if this Wikipedia article had existed when I was a college senior I'd never, ever have tried that particular party trick. ;)

Yet another example of how the web makes us much, much smarter.

A teaspoon is 5ccs. 3-4cc IS pretty much a tiny sip, unless you have excellent lip-control.
