There's a lot of posts that I brofist because they make a good point, are very eloquent, or just plain smart. But often they have some sad implications, about for example, the decline. SO I made this:

Blame DU
DU's simply doing his best to uphold our popular image as "that nazi rpg forum".

The power of art is sometimes found in the opposing juxtaposition of different imagery placed side by side. Artists place the delicate with the blunt, juxtapose complex with simple, mingle joyful and sad, or good with evil. Placing two concepts, characters, ideas, or places near or next to each other allows the viewer to compare and contrast them. The word juxtaposition comes from the Latin for “side by side” with “position,” originally a French word that became standardized into English. In grammar, the use of juxtaposition is the absence of conjunctions when grouping words in a list, such as omitting the “but” or “and.” In an artist’s work, the tension between dark and light offers a brilliant juxtaposition, contrasting color and shade.
A glow stick is a small, self-contained, short-term light-source. It consists of a translucent plastic tube containing isolated substances that, when combined, make light through chemiluminescence, so it does not require an external energy source. The light cannot be turned off, and can be used only once. Glow sticks are often used for recreation, but may also be relied upon for light during military, police, fire, or EMS operations.
If you’re like me, you probably know where the glow sticks are in Wal-Mart’s camping section—or maybe you've gotten looks pulling into a gas station at 3AM to buy a dozen. Of course, glow sticks have plenty of uses outside of the untz untz lifestyle, including as non-electric light sources for underwater divers and visual warnings to motorists on highways. As prevalent as they are in popular culture though, how much do we really know about these radioactive-looking bundles of joy? As it turns out, absolutely nothing.
There are many people listed on different patents for “light stick" devices and their derivatives, but all of them base their designs off the findings of Dr. Edwin Chandross. When the eighty-something scientist called me back the next day, I asked him if he had seen his chemiluminescent inventions out in public recently. Dr. Chandross was completely unaware that the fluorescent goop he cooked up in a laboratory in 1962 had become a staple at live music events across the globe. “Is that so?" He laughed. "Maybe my granddaughter will think I’m cool now.”
Today, the glow stick has nearly reached the status of religious symbol. Glow necklaces are no longer only sold at Party City, but are a welcomed and heavily-stocked item at gas stations, grocery stores, and even the occasional street corner.
But even some 50 years after their emergence, the question of how the glow stick reaction produces light is still not yet fully understood. Still, the basic chemistry involves the reaction of an oxalate ester mixed with hydrogen peroxide—a principle that glowfather Edwin Chandross discovered.
