I have heard...

And this is in no way possible to back up since it is an n'th hand report, that using the stuff is painful and tiring...

There is only one possible reason for its use at this time and that is deep sea diving. There is NO way I would aloow such an unnatural chemical in close contact with my lungs! Now pardon me while I light a ciggarette.

There is No reason for using this in space- especially since it could ruin the galaxy's ozone layer...

(That was a joke, Lindy)
