scoutman Oct 22, 2003	this teaser also works for any gas that is lighter than a feather, such as helium or neon. A decent teaser, tho.

MadDog72 Mar 12, 2006	Actually, air is not LIGHTER than a feather. If you had enough air, the air would be heavier. The correct wording would be that air is LESS DENSE than a feather.
