I used to have a nitrogen fixation...

These extremophiles may give a better idea of life-supporting conditions on other bodies, including extrasolar ones; this also pertains to panspermia, but the last thing anyone needs (particularly me) is another ping list...

Pass the N2!

There was an article in the Houston Chronicle years ago about a liquid nitrogen tanker that had a wreck and the Fire Dept. was on site in case the N2 started leaking and caused a fire.

Needless to say the "highly flammable" N2 didn't leak so there was no fire.
