Take a lesson from this, kids. Never buy those cheap imported light-sabers.

Mr Yamaguchi: Tanaka-san, ratings are down. People are tired of watching Galactic Horrible Torture Dragon Show. Even Noble Misery Samurai Ouch! Ouch! is failing. You must think of new program.

For what it's worth, both neon and fluorescent are cold cathode; the concept is very, very similar. A large diameter, phosphor coated white tube of neon is, in underlying science, very, very similar to a fluorescent tube.
I wouldn't like to fight anyone with either. But if I had to, it'd be all about breaking the tip off and then stabbing with what remains. |

Neon tubes I've seen, are a lot thicker glass. Hurtfully thick.

These tubes have phosphorous in them. If you get phosphorous in a cut.. It takes a LOOOOoooOOoOOoOOoOOOng time to heal if it ever does.
I think those tubes are filled with Stupid Gas. |

Fifteen years ago, I knelt down behind my tv. I put my fist on the floor to steady myself. When I did, I put my fist into a pile of left over glass from a broken candle sconce. I still occasionally pull out a piece of that glass outta my knuckles.
How long will these dumbasses be pulling glass outta their various body parts?

A haiku in honor of Japan's newest sport:
Clouds of phosphor and Tiny glass bits by my face. No safety goggles? |

Breathing very heavily around all that very fine phosphor dust may be worse than the glass shards, in later years.
My worst experience with glass was after I broke out the smoked rear window of my pickup truck. Safety glass just means the shards created are very small, and grey in this case. After cleaning up the considerable mess and practicing up on my 4 letter words, I'm trying to remove some shards from my fingertips. Digging around with a magnifying glass, needle and tweezers, I start seeing these small thin grey things, and start pulling them out. Crap&@&$%$! but that hurts?! Did you know that the nerves in your fingertips look just like very small thin shards of smoked glass? |

This only reminded me of my stupid Congressman, Ted Poe who likes to hear himself speak in the House of Representatives. Here he is waxing poetic on the evils of compact fluorescent light bulbs, which I know are not what this thread was all about! He also often gets before the House and speaks about the heroes of the Republic of Texas!
