Lines: 15 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. Jeff "Waiting for some easy money" Johnson
