Inconsistencies-I'm not grouchy, these are just so obvious after you see it 10 times

Re: the complaint about Sting not glowing in Osgiliath in spite of the Orcs on the opposite shore.<P>I would propose the following experiment: get any phosphorescent item, i.e. a glow-in-the-dark sticker or a glostick or whatever.<P>In the middle of the day, go into a dark closet, verify that the object does indeed glow. Now, step out into the bright daylight outside and observe the object again. You will, to your great surprise, notice that you can't see any glow, because the ambient light is too bright.<P>Other occurrences of this phenomenon are:<P>-the way you don't see stars during the day<BR>-the way the light cone of a flashlight is not visible when projected on snow in the daytime<BR>-the way you can't make out this post if the sun is shining on your monitor<BR>-etc.<P>Whoever said Sting must become a lightsaber around Orcs? Not Tolkien, anyway.<P>(edit=typos)<p>[ February 15, 2003: Message edited by: Erulasto ]
