The '''Smoking Toilet of Doom''' refers to an incident which occured at [[Summer Camp|Space Camp]]. It was the practice of those running Space Camp to perform many demonstrations involving [[Liquid Nitrogen]]. As a final demonstration, any excess liquid nitrogen already pour out of the large liquid nitrogen container, and thus cannot/very hard to be re-stored and reused, is dumped into a toilet and flushed. The boiling of the liquid nitrogen, and the condensation of atmospheric moisture induced by cold nitrogen vapor give the impression of smoke coming out of the toilet, hence the name. On one occasion, excessive nitrogen was poured in, which froze the water in the toilet bowl.
