thank the lord oh my
Does anyone else have this problem?
Somehow my keyboard keeps moving to the right until I have no room to move my mouse. No matter how many times I move it to the left, it keeps sliding too slow for me to notice until I can’t move my mouse.
Like all living things, humans are bioluminescent (meaning we glow) – We glow brightest during the afternoon. - weird, interesting & funny facts
what
i’ve been staring at this for like 5 minutes. so.. what. i don’t think people glow. but this is telling me that we actually emit visible light.. especially in the afternoon?? am i reading this right or what
“all living things” plants. when do the plants glow
science side of tumblr pls
I’m not from the science side of tumblr, but here’s the answer anyways:
Basically, all living things are bioluminescent because every living thing has chemical reactions occurring in their cells. The energy created from these chemical reactions physically manifests as light, thus… all living things naturally glow.
However, this glow cannot be seen by the human eye. In fact, the only way they’ve ever captured this light is through special cameras. Using these ultra special cameras, they’ve imaged subjects’ bodies over 24 hour periods. It has been found out that humans emit the most of this glow during the afternoon (about 4 PM), it is the weakest in the morning (about 10 AM), and the brightest light is emitted from the cheeks, neck, and forehead.
The light is about a thousand times weaker than what humans can perceive.
Basically, it’s a side effect of metabolic reactions. It’s been suspected that humans are bioluminescent for years, but they weren’t able to confirm it until recently thanks to technology and a man named Masaki Kobayashi from the Tohoku Institute of Technology.

HOW THE FUCK…
“obama is fuckin up”
true
“should have voted for the other guy”
FALSE
No. We should have voted for the other guy you twats. Were all fucking doomed now.
All jokes aside….
While no president will be perfect because they hold little actual power, I do think that Romney should have won. I sau this because while I don’t agree with most of the stuff he stood for, he was right in that the economy should be the main focus. We have been in a huge economic decline for years and the affordable healthcare act is just making it worse.
Robotnik with Wolverine claws. Best.
Looking back, we can scratch off 6 (Image Comics and Megaman crossovers),
4 (issue 25 had a silver foil cover, as well as Sonic Universe #25),
2 (no movie was made, the OVA is dubious if it counts, but supposedly a live action movie was proposed by Sega recently)
and 1 (Sonic “died” at least two occasions; 20 and 125) off this list :PAlso; I just realized one of Robotnik’s left fist has his thumb on the wrong side.
Both robotniks thumbs are wrong.

It was pretty accurate until we got to Michael J. Fox
Biffs was SO accurate that it’s scary.
