99.99 % of Earth’s atmosphere is composed of four gases. Of these four, nitrogen accounts for 78%.

What’s up with all the nitrogen?

“I don’t want to take up all the oxygen in the room when I get asked this question, but I only have eyes for carbon dioxide.”

Rebecca, Office Plant

“I’ve always admired Nitrogen for precisely this reason: its abundance and raison d’être results directly from its reluctance to interact. But in a good way.”

Ed Walters, Occupant, Cubicle 17:

“Nitrogen, Nitrogen, Nitrogen. You know what you don’t hear enough about?  Argon.  The welders out there know what I’m talking about.”

Dennis Messner, Product Manager
