#1 A more accurate headline: Moment Of Conception Marked By Release of Zinc Ions Which Can Be Made To Fluoresce Under Laboratory Conditions.

And yes, the video microscopy totally rocks.

#2 I was working in a home darkroom centuries ago, and was sucking on some hard candy. I had already noticed that peeling the paper backing off the undeveloped film gave off a lot of light right as the film separated from the paper. I could only see this when my eyes were completely dark adapted. I also saw a lot of light when I bit down to crack the candy between my teeth in that darkness, it seemed to be emitted from the cracks as they formed, very short flash & then dark again.

#3 Crushing wintergreen lifesavers with a pair of pliers gives off light flashes, too.

#4 ^It do! It really do!


I miss the smell of acetic acid in the evening
And my Enlarger yes I do,
I dream of days gone by with out the Photoshop,
When I got by with a burner and a brush or two.

Babies, next to fishing, darkroom time is, or was, the most life extending hobby. Watching an 8x10 in the developer come out correctly is a religious experience. Hummm

#5 #4 Babies,

Is that a Conroy reference? Who cares... to the boneyard!

Before volunteering for Muskie,
Con...RACK went to rescue Daufuskie,
But milking the rodent...
Well, really, one couldn't,
When all of one's students were dusky!
