So which NFL player murdered a bunch of people with a balloon?

When I saw the headline I assumed it was about the woman that died from helium inhalation. I think the story was on Drudge yesterday or the day before.

I am hoping zombies because at least that has some entertainment value.

Right up until they have their teeth embedded into your skull.

We can use Hydrogen balloons and have the 4th of July all year.

I can imagine that in 50 years time our children will be saying, ‘I can’t believe they used such a precious material to fill balloons,’” said the doctor, Peter Wothers.

I don’t want to live in a world where kids don’t know what it’s like to change their voices with helium.

I was talking about everything in the universe decaying into helium. There must be a lot of it.

Ignoring decay there was always a lot of helium in the universe if we accept the Big Bang theory. After the universe cooled enough so matter could be formed the only two elements to be formed were hydrogen and helium. It is currently estimated that the amount of helium in the universe (measured not by mass, but by the number of atoms relative to other elements) is 24% of all matter (not counting dark matter). Hydrogen makes up 73.9%. The remaining 2.1% are all the other elements combined with oxygen third on the list at 1.04%. So when we look at this way there is just about nothing left that can decay into helium.
