The glowing pickle, for though it is said, is the most impetant of fruits, the most lacking in red.
Behold the glowing pickle, finery splender it glow, behold the pickle down the street glowing it goes.
Bizzare glowing pickle with a moustache on its head, confussed glowing pickle, for the pickle is dead.

Stop pickle experiments now.
Save the pickle.
Pickles have feelings too.
Hug a pickle.
A pickle isn't just for burgers.

Adopt a pickle.
Thats right.
For just £4 a month, you can adopt a third world pickle, and pay for its schooling and education.
please give just £4 a month, or whtever you can afford, and help improve the life of a third world pickle

I was watching a CSI repeat on television the other day & they did the glowing pickle experiment.

I hope they paid Gherkin and Piccalli their copyright fee.

I wish I could remember. Maybe it was the episode in which a person accidentally electrocuted himself while trying to stay cool in the Nevada summer?

I can't watch CSI...
If I try, I end up yelling "BULLSH!T" through the entire episode.

Some of the stuff bothers me - I really don't think the forensic scientists get to question witnesses. And I know it takes longer than 10 minutes to get DNA results. But for the rest of it - I really just don't know. And it's less depressing than watching 'Law & Order: SVU' which is on in the same time slot.

I've never watched CSI myself; nor that other one to do with Nevada. I would do, though for s'thing specific.

I only watched part of one episode of CSI...
I saw at least five examples of really bad science.
They solved one of the crimes because of a disease that only Norwegians were supceptible to. Not other Scandinavians, just Norwegians... how convenient.
They found some evidence by zooming in to an image posted on a website... they zoomed in about 800% and looked at a photo on a mantlepiece in a picture showing an entire room.
They found a piece of white neoprene next to a pool and concluded that the killer hid at the bottom of the pool camoflaged in white... never mind that there are all kinds of toys and drink "koozies" (its an insulator for your beer bottle... Very common in the Southern US) and other things that are common around pools...
etc.
Keep in mind, CSI is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer... Trust me, you do NOT want to be around me if Armageddon is on.

Armageddon is a really bad movie.
As for koozies - my co-worker just got one for some work he did on a really sticky account.

What is a 'koozie'?
cucurbita longa, vita brevis, gherkzilla regne
Emee, out from under the rock Posted Jun 24, 2005
There is a 'kustom koozie' place online. You'll see several examples. And probably be appalled as well by the thought of people who would want something that keeps their beer cold to be handed out as a wedding favor. 
It's a foam container that fits around a can or bottle to keep your beverage cold.

They also work well as an insulator for pickles who just happen to be working around voltages that might make them glow, safety first....
