I haven't the slightest idea what the heck you are posting about! I also am (too old, too grouchy ,too set-in-my-ways, too tired>>>pick one or all) to try! God bless!

On the 12th I put in a post conserning seeing light when I broke open ice trays in the dark, named "It this weird or what?" Answers came back suggesting vodka ice cubes, "herbal" tea, or that I was making a joke. Now there are posts explaining it and listing other ways this light can be produced by odd situtations.

I must have missed the post about the ice,, but yes it CAN produce a spark, if its in a metal tray,, its not realy apsark, but the light even a little amout refractting off the broken crystal edges

-- stan (sopal@net-port.com), October 14, 2001.


Mitch I would suggest you walk toward the light. Be careful though it may really be sparks and if you get too close you could catch on fire. Of course if it comes from ice trays it would have to be cold fire.

I've seen the 'static electric' spark from plastic ice trays, and band aid wrapers, the rubber cement that seals them, shows a blue spark when pulled quickly apart.

I like the phosphorescence that occurs in moist mossy ground when you walk on it in the dark.

mitch; are you getting all cranked up from churning your icecream???

-- Jim-mi (hartalteng@voyager.net), October 14, 2001.

Okay -- so it wasn't the vodka, or the herbal tea -- I'm beginning to wonder about those of you who might have been licking too many of those envelopes, though!

Having said that (homeschooling mom that I am -- ALWAYS in search of new scientific weirdness to structure a lesson around) I'm off to find some ice cube trays....

Well Tracey, look to see if your bank uses the envelopes that are stuck together with the rubbery stuff. I get my account statements in those. If you peel up the envelope flap in a darkened room, you can see the light along a line where the two halves seperate. It's kind of neat. (boy, now how is THAT for cheap entertainment?)

Mitch, it really does light up the ice cubes! I have plastic trays. This is cool. Going right now to make more so I can show the hubby tonight!

-- Jean (jat@ncis.net), October 15, 2001.

Ok..now I get the ice cube crack I think mitch or Tom made in the breast pad discussion...ROFL!

Dr. Bob,who plays an educated person on-line, sez,"Be careful Timmy this looks nuclear!" T.R. you want hands on science ? Go to www.nyelabs.com, bill nye the science guy is great brain exercise. Need more laughs at other peoples outlooks? www.theonion.com -> parental supervision highly recomended,delicate sensibilities will be offened,upset, & made to ask "why". Absolutely NOTHING is sacred to these people! But personally i think it is a great antidote for 'group think'.

Only peripherally related, but has anyone seen the "green flash" at sunset over the ocean? (I thought this was a myth among mariners, but I have seen it ONCE!)GL!

-- Brad (homefixer@SacoRiver.net), October 15, 2001.


Never heard of it or seen it, but understand that when certain light rays exit the scene, there would be a rainbow (or exiting rainbow) change in the light rays.
