Humans glow in the dark…

Yeah, you read that right…apparently we give off very low amounts of light undetectable by the human eye. Called bio luminescence, apparently we have not been able to capture it in humans on camera until now. So says the Science Blog over at the Guardian. I keep wondering how frustrating that would have been to go deep sea diving; looking for underwater creatures that glow in the dark. All the while not knowing that the light you are giving off is scaring them away!

At first I thought this was bumpkiss, as the images looked like thermal scans, but apparently they compared the two in the study and found the light sources were different, which I also find fascinating. I also like their diagram of the procedure and how they filmed it. Which leads me to my next point….

At the end of the article, they say that it would be hard to imagine any practical usage arising from this. I say NAY good sirs, there is one major practical application coming out of all this, it’s called Super Mutant Glowing Powers! Look at that dude sitting in the chair in the photo and tell me you wouldn’t want to blast him with a bunch of harnessed bio luminescence from other glowing hoomans to make him glow in the dark?! Muwhahahahaaaaaa! AHEM…’scuse me. Overcoming evil scientist urge in 3…2…
