Things you might not know about Nitrogen:

1.      Nitrogen gas (N2) makes up 78.1% of the volume of the Earth's air.

2.      Your body is 3% nitrogen by weight.

3.      Coming up too fast from scuba diving can give a diver the "bends" which is when dissolved nitrogen in your blood comes back out of solution and forms bubbles in your blood.

4.      Can be used to pressurize beer kegs, which gives the dispensed beer smoother taste and headier body.
