( #1297 ) Fish Eyes

From the Tampa Bay Times , Week end section
Park Stadium 18 , movie theatre , yes, 18 screens
 is advertising 3 movies  .... 

at the Fla State Fair ( courtesy of TBT , WE as well )  
Fair Food offers 
Oink Oink - weiner in a bacon shell topped w/ pork rinds
OMG , its a joke right ! Yes , a fantasy item by the editor

But........... for real

Peanut butter , jelly and bacon quesadilla
Pizza funnel cake
Double barrel burger - donut top and bottom , burger patty top and bottom w/ cheese and bacon between and around the patties

I'll have Mini wheats for brekkies
plus hazelnut coffee from 7 - 11

Fish eyes , have a yellow filter , not all but many
thus , they see life w/out blue in the spectrum b/c yellow filters out the blue
the bio - fluorescence that results reveals markings and coding features on the plants and animals 
On PBS , the special was on bio luminescence ( the organism makes the light ) and bio - luminescence ( the organism absorbs light and re - transmits a different colour )
bio - luminesence is obvious and note worthy. Fireflies etc.

At depth in the ocean , it is blue light that penetrates through the water. Many plants and animals absorb this blue light and throw back reds , greens and oranges. When scientists use yellow filters such as many fish have , the underwater world is a ' barcode ' of life. Fish it turns out are often display boards of information  , ' I'm a predator ' or ' watch out , I can sting ' or ' I'm available for mating .
great , mating fish
no !
Bio - luminescent markers for cancer cells , nerve cells , so that scientists can track and determine activity and location. Offending cancer cells that were marked could be targeted specifically b/c the cancer cells are glowing green vs the normal backdrop of colours in the human body.
Alright , TV  isn't so bad

All the time ............ mostly tho '
