    odd how we generally dont think much about childrens party balloons but one day maybe within my great grandkids lifetime, said ballooons will go the way of the dodo.

    weird how frivolent we are with it, given its actual import.

We still have party balloons while universities are installing helium recovery systems and finding helium free methods of cooling.
