Things That Glow

I have 2 glowsticks that my cousin Lisa's fiance (who's in the Canadian army) gave me last summer. I haven't yet used them, couldn't think of a use to put them to. Suggestions welcomed.

Yet again south London has had a glow. Under some railway arches, a fire broke out in a garage where there may have been oxy-acetylene tanks stored. A similar fire a few weeks ago, only a mile or two away, led to the closure of the railway lines. This one was a bit closer to the mainline station, so lots more lines in and out were affected. The result has been that tens of thousands of people have been stranded miles from home with no way of getting back.

I bet the cab drivers have been making a killing.

JoJo said...: What to use the glowsticks for. Hmmm. Over here, kids buy them at fairs to use at night & hunters use them a lot. People used to bring them to Dead shows to enjoy the psychedelic effect of swinging them around or they'd cut them open and spatter people w/ the liquid so that you'd have glow in the dark dots all over your clothes (it's non toxic). They don't last very long once they are cracked open though.

Save them in an "emergency kit" should you ever find yourself in the need to use one.; 5:56 pm
