Deborah has sent in this picture of the Canberra Times fountain a luminous green.

Anyone know why?

That’s exactly what I was thinking. It is stage two of their plan to invade the city.

I walked by the fountain this morning. It has been drained and there was a truck there. I think that they were about to replenish it with fresh water.

Gee, I wonder what will happen next! 😛

Spoiled sports, I ate 48 KGs of Asparagus to get that effect.

It’ll just be fluorescein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescein), pretty much non-toxic, and a little bit goes a loooong way.

Hahaha, Gold.

I bet you it’s colour dye used in pc water cooling. No amount of radiotor fluid can get it that green.
