Black Lights


Last week in Dublin, I stopped by Trinity University, the Harvard of Ireland, not for academic purposes or to view a page from the Book of Kells but to relieve myself. Inside the tiolet, the place was illuminated with black lights. Asking a friend and my Dublin guide about it later, she said the black lights are a deterrent to shooting up in the john. Supposedly, the purple ambiance prevents junkies from finding a vein to hit. And I thought it was some kind of hippie-dippie art installation. Go away wit ya now!
