Trivia / Info:
Goofs / Nitpicks:
- Helium is a simple asphyxiant like nitrogen (which constitutes 78% of air) which is only dangerous if the oxygen level drops too far. One would need to replace most of the air in the room to have any adverse affect. Even then, they would not start choking, but would suddenly becomes sleepy.
