Lights Out!

NOW, and as a young hoboclown I've been totally fascinated by the fireflies. In Philadelphia,PA USA we called them "Lightning Bugs". This month (for the next few weeks) is a prime time for lightning bugs in this area. I've been working on this invention to light my entire body up at will and literally glow in the dark. That would be totally cool.Can you imagine what you could do with all that 'self-glo stuff'? Entomologists have fancy words for the 'stuff' and 'process'that lightning bugs use to glow or flash: luciferase and bioluminescence.
As young hoboclown kids, we used to put the 'stuff' on our fingers to make glow rings.They lasted a short while until they dimmed out. If you were afraid of the dark at night and couldn't sleep the grand hoboclown would have you drink a small
cup of milk and honey and tell you to get in bed and stare at ten lightning bugs inside a small mayo jar covered with a tin screw cap punched with tiny airholes.When the lightning bugs' lights went out,so did yours!
