I ran across that story yesterday while reading LiveJournal and figured it was an urban myth, but I think it's the same story referenced in a medical discussion [findarticles.com] I found by googling "ingesting liquid nitrogen". It seems some kid thought it was paste and ate it.

  Where did you read about someone thinking it was paste?
  
  I got a kick out of this school experiment gone awry, having been given a black-eye and injuries requiring stiches in fifth grade by a wooden bowling pin in some silly P.E. game. Maybe it's not good to always follow your teachers' instructions...

    Oh, the paste comment was my own, based on the old joke about the one kid in class who had to put everything in his mouth.
