If being able to die horribly is a superpower, then yes, you do get superpowers from eating that tomato.

matches
written by Jeremy on August 16, 2007

Where do you get matches like that? I went all over town with a portable UV light and none of the matches seemed to glow at all. People that saw me probably thought i was crazy. Diamond brand is what almost every store carries and they do not glow. I tried the strike anywhere ones and they didn't glow either.

yo!

It's pretty hard to find phosphorus non-safety matches in the US. The package used in the video also looked like a foreign brand to me.

Also, in this day and age, possession of amounts of phosphorus and things like syringes can put you under serious suspicion of manufacturing methamphetamines.

I'm an ex tweeker (5yrs 2mos and 2weeks clean today) and not many people would know what he meant by his 'manufacturing methamphetamines' statement. lol... is this place being run by the cops? i think i hear somebody looking at me.... i gotta go. i don't do drugs. EEEEK!

Me and my siter are going to do this for a science project, but everywhere i loook there is no scienctific explanation. do oany of you know why it glows. is it because of a chemical reaction.
