  • so what did you drink? ;p

  • Schweppes :-)

  • By the way, GREAT SONG. What's it called? Is it African soukous or something like that?

  • Glad you like it :-) google drum'n'zez i'm sure they'd be glad to hear positive comments :-) on their website you have under download this song, it's called "aubaba"

  • Can you tell me what were those substances?

  • Upon exposure to black light some chemicals give glow. All you have to do is dissolve some fluorescent dyes in appropriate solvents. Beside the one we drank for all others we used acetone as a solvent. They gave off respectively: rhodamine B red glow, rubrene yellow glow, 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthrac­ene green glow, 9,10-diphenylanthracene + nile red violet glow, rhodamine 6G orange glow.
