I’ve been wondering about this for some time now, but it took a trip to the local mall to make me remember. I had just gotten on an escalator to go up to the second mall level when I happened to look down and notice a strange, creepy green glow coming out from the small gap where the stairs first rise out of the floor. I then realized that I’ve been seeing that same green light ever since I was a kid, and on escalators all over the world! So, my obvious question is, “What the heck is that light??”. Why is it there? Why is it green? Are our feet being subjected to some kind of strange other-earthly radiation by the EMIB’s? (Escalator Men In Black) When the escalator stops, does it turn red? Any Escalator repairmen in the house?
The green light is so that the little green men on the treadmill underneath the escaltor can see what they are doing.
All bow down to Cecil, supreme lord and master of the universe, once again. Now I can ride escalators once again without fear or bewilderment. bow scrape grovel
