    Fixed that for you.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I was wondering how many glow-worms it took to illuminate all these road markings.

    Then there's these, the standard British "cats eye" invented decades ago and quite adept at unseating cyclists never mind the poor cat involved:

    Well, if it glows in the dark, would it not be revealing itself? :p
    I've accidentally swallowed some Scrabble tiles. My next crap could spell disaster.

    I knew that looked familiar. They used to have those embedded in the roadway of the Macombs Dam Bridge that I used to bike on the way to college. I did my best to stay away from them.

    :shock:

    I like the idea of photo-luminescent paint on roads. Beats what's there now. Now, will it work after a cloudy day?
    Yeah, if they use radium. Or maybe tritium.
