The amazing glowstick. Or 'Lightstick' as it's american brother is called.
One of the most amazing things this planet has to offer (Apart from panther kittens and meter long icicles)
It's quite an amazing process and i'll try to explain how they work as best i can!
Basically a glowstick is a long plastic tube filled full of Phenyl Oxalate Ether and Florescent Dye, the colour of this dye will determine what colour the glow will be.
Inside this plastic tube is a glass tube full of the chemical Hydrogen Peroxide.
So when you bend the plastic vial, the glass vial breaks, the two solutions mix with each other and the resulting chemical reaction causes the fluorescent dye to emit light. This process is called [B]Chemiluminescence[/B]

No it doesn't. It's fine the way it is.

You've got to be pretty sad for that to make your day.

I've been sat in front of the computer for about 12 hours straight doing assignment work for my college course. It doesn't take much to "make your day" when half of it has been based around doing shit you don't like.

Actually no.
Glowsticks on their own are cool.
Naked girls (young and not wales) are also cool.
BUT when you mix them together blowsticks get in the way and the naked girl is no longer naked.
Side note: I hope that picture was a girl..... you never know with all these shemales.

She doesn't look all that hot neither, probably why she dances in the dark with a bunch of druggies. :smug:
Oh, and they're called "light sticks" in the States ONLY when they're included with first-aid kits.
"OH GOD! I can't stop the bleeding! I don't have much time! ...There's only one thing left to do..."

I thought "light sticks" was only a white color? I mean it would be worthless using a violet coloured one when trying to find a vein to inject some form of antidote or such.
What's wrong with dancing in the dark with a load of druggies?
Put them on the panther!

They're always green in the first-aid kits around here for some reason. :/
Tie icicle to panther using glowstick.

Nothing but if she did it in broad daylight we'd have to bag her.
Plus if you're gonna dance around like a goofball while covered in glowy bits you might as well do it right:

I heard you can "recharge" glowsticks by putting them in the fridge. Any truth to this?

No.

No, but they will last longer if refrigerated.

I get the feeling he is just making threads about random things around his house so he can put a photo of himself up while making that face
What's up with you making all these pointless threads all of a sudden?
