“Limelight,” which is also known as “calcium light,” was used as stage lighting for years after being discovered by Goldsworth Gurney in the 1820s. Gurney was employed by the Surrey Institute as a lecturer in chemistry and philosophy. On the side, he did a bit of experimenting of his own. He invented an “oxy-hydrogen blowpipe,” which works by introducing a jet of oxygen and hydrogen to a flame, making it extremely hot. He found that introducing a small chunk of lime (the stone, not the fruit) to the flame resulted in a blinding white light that could be visible for miles.

A lecturer at uni said it was slightly more green and there were candle lights that used lime skin to burn. I would trust the above though. Sorry for the confusion
Well then...

miss_kate18 you are actually the polar opposite to my girlfriend (yes she's real). She loooooooves Michael Keaton's Batman and despises Bale to the point she wont watch the new Batmans. She reckons American Psycho ruined him for her.

However the correct answer is Bale. Though Keaton's Batman is probably more "fun".
Lol.

Keaton out acted Bale in one scene versus three movies.

Bale is a sturdy Batman but he was no Bruce Wayne.

Bale is second by daylight.

Probably. That's why Adults take LSD, it's like getting your imagination back from when you were 5.

No, you'd bleed out as soon as you hit a major artery.

No, they are flame resistant but only if there are on a boat.

Is it illegal to own a magnifying glass?

No, the lizard base is here.

Probably when you're old enough to actually know what sex is.

Tonto by Battles.

Awww yeah.

brahj do you use any products on your glorious beard?

Also any grooming tips?
Nah, I don't believe in that action. It's a beard, it grows.

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

You gotta have an open mind to all types of music my man. I'm a fan of all generations.

You can get stuffed for calling it awful. :hearts:
I had an open mind, I listened and it sounded awful to me. If a song, or any piece of music, sounds good then it doesn't matter what era it comes from but that just doesn't sound good to me, it's all about opinions after all.
You don't have to get stuffed for liking it. :hearts::hearts:
