I assume that's a sea going cucumber and may glow all on its own.

The only one on there I really knew for certain, was the smoke detectors... but I had a vague notion most food had small amounts, and simularly stone/ceramic stuff
Mind, non of it has a patch on my kettle, which I bought from a Rusian I met in the pub... Its great, boils water really* quick, and you don't even need to plug it in 
I think he called it the Uraniukettle...

After all these years, how did we miss this?
Every New Year's Eve in Mount Olive, North Carolina they celebrate by dropping a giant glowing pickle.

Interesting to hear on BBC 'Breakfast' this morining about a long-lost lucrative vein of 'Blue John' being discovered in Derbyshire. However, they didn't explain what it is chemically. It is 'fluorite' (Calcium fluoride): The usually colourless crystals fluoresce blue when heated, thus giving rise to its name.http://www.bluejohnstone.co.uk/

I've currently rediscovered my pickle addiction... pickled gherkins.... mainly due to a new stash found at a Turkish, well, Curdish actually, small corner shop... their jars of pickled gherkins, also contain a few cloves of garlic, plus chili peppers... which makes for a pretty-tasty pickle 
plus I need the electrolytes thesedays I've yet to try them for their glowing ability
