Tread lightly when you cannot see at night.

I said my ambition was to be a normal human being on some Thread, somewhere. I may not be the brightest in the room, but the lightest at a eating contest.

Shall anyone else want to lighten things up a bit more?

Did I tell you about the Dark Sucker Theory? There is no such thing as light, only dark. The devices you call lights are actually dark suckers, they remove dark.

Several proofs: What color is a candle wick? Black, correct? That is because it has been sucking dark into it. Also, you know how an incandescent bulb gets black with use? See, sucking dark leaves a little. Fluorescent tubes get (dark) at the ends... LED's are very new and very good at sucking dark, but eventually you will see some which have gone dark.

Dark is neither created, nor destroyed. When you use what we call a flashlight (a portable dark sucker) the dark is sucked into the batteries, until they are full. When they are full they are discarded, but eventually, in the landfill, they corrode and all the dark leaks back out. When you see the "smokestacks" of a power plant, they are releasing dark back into the world. Note the dark puff that comes out of your exhaust pipe on your car... that is the dark which was sucked into your dark storage unit (aka battery) last night when you were out driving. It comes out as a concentrated puff of dark the next day. A hydro plant puts dark back into the water, you know how dark it is deep in a river, lake or ocean. Some also think that dark is heavier than light, so it sinks to the bottom. That is unproven yet.

Dark can be pushed around by powerful forces such as the sun. In the daytime the sun pushes the dark to the other side of the planet, but it slides back over the light areas as the earth turns.

This is just the tip of the knowledge about Dark, and the dark sucker theory. You can postulate other things when you put your mind to it.

Idroba... that sure makes sense to me.

Anyone who had been to Darkest Africa looking for Dr. Livingston in the 1850's, kept getting lost once within the Dark Continent. No one could read the handwritten maps once they left the coast, because the light of day did not exist at that time. It was a dark period in the British Empires explorations.

Although the "Dr. Livingston I presume" lives on to this day in a light hearted way. No pun intended.
