So Sammy, how many grade schoolers do you think are here to watch your 
stupid tricks? Or is this your level of science understanding? I loved 
that fact that "physics girl" is so incompetent an experimentalist that 
she can't even pour LN2 on the candle without first sloshing nitrogen 
gas on the flame putting it out before the LN2 gets there. Obviously she 
is planning on being a theoretical physicist.  Might as well have 
Boinker or Starfaker doing this film.

Hey, HVAC you should watch this! Science at your level with no ghosts or 
ESP being studied!
