Believe it or not, you vcan get the same effect by crushing a wintergreen
Lifesaver (TM) with your molars.  Go into your bathroom, turn off the lights,
pop a wintergreen, turn toward the mirror, open your mouth, and crunch hard.
Voila! A flash of light is emitted.  This is caused, according to a guy
I know at Los Alamos, by energy being released when you break the bonds in
whatever noxious compound they put in wintergreens.

I'm willing to take any number of bets ($5.00 max) that this is an easily
reproducible effect.  Chicago area only please.

***WARNING***  Standing in the head with the lights out and a roll of
Lifesavers is NOT something to endear you to your roommates, etc.
