Pet Peeve #457: calling things that fluoresce under UV light "glow-in-the-dark". We may not be able to see in the UV range, but some current energy/light source is required to activate the fluorescence, unlike something like a glow-in-the-dark plastic that absorbs light energy and then releases it over time without further energy input.

Dammit, now I want cosmetic transgenic therapy! I wonder if I can get that in a fluorescent purple.

Hell, sign me up. We need a cat, and Drew's nite-lite just burned out, so it'll serve a dual purpose.

Hey, and another advantage is, you'll never step on your cat again while trying to navigate your way to the bathroom in the dark.
