* The [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clione |clione]] is a sea slug that looks like a tiny angel (hence it's other name, "sea angel"). When it wants to eat, however...[http://quietube2.com/v.php/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlc7r34Sh-c see for yourself]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Swans -a -Swimming|Swans]]. Seriously, they might be ridiculously angelic in appearence, but they're aggressive and use their angelic wings to break bones when fighting. Even black swans fit this trope because they still have white wing feathers.
* [[Alluring Anglerfish|Anglerfish and similar deep sea fish]].
* Polar Bears are known to be lethal predators who sometimes even kill for fun.
Line 17:
** The term "black hole" overall is just because light, alongside everything, is sucked into it; both outside and inside of them is filled with brightness being pulled into. There's also the theoretical "white holes", which are essencially the exits of the "black holes", which are throwing out all matter inside. This is good because it provides new matter, but also very bad towards anything nearby.
* White phosphorous (P4) was used as a weapon since World War I. It can cause death in three different ways: by burning deep into tissue, by being inhaled as a smoke, and by being ingested. [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment|And we won't discuss about specific uses of this substance.]]
* Magnesium and lead flames are [[Technicolor Fire|white/silver in colour]]. Besides the fact, that they are, you know, [[Kill It Withwith Fire|fire]], the first are ridiculously explosive and so hot that it is very hard to put them down, while the latter are toxic. Magnesium also burns so brightly it can damage the eyes if looked at for too long.
* A common side-effect and/or withdrawal symptom of drug use (be it prescription or otherwise) is extreme sensitivity to light.
* [[Nazi Germany|The Nazis]] often used light to their advantage, often for propaganda purposes. For example, the Nuremberg rallies were often accompanied by a [[Pillar of Light]].
** The Swastika itself started out as a symbol of sun.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120618160225/http://glowbar.myshopify.com/ A glow in the dark crowbar.] Gods only know what kinds of things it was made for.
* There once was a place, nicknamed "Empire of the Sun." They ran one of the most brutal regimes in recent history. Some would even say they were even worse than the Nazis. They were the Japanese Empire.
* The British Empire for which "the sun never sets".
* France in the reign of Louis XIV "The Sun King".
* [[Go Mad From the Isolation|Horribly]], [[Nightmare Fuel|HORRIBLY]] played straight for those forced to endure the [https://web.archive.org/web/20120712072952/http://articles.cnn.com/2008-10-29/world/amir.fakhravar.iran.torture_1_iranian-exile-islamic-revolution-regime-change?_s=PM:WORLD "White Torture"]
* A warning sign seen in many physics labs: "Do not look into laser with your remaining eye." They expect you to be smart enough to know what happened to your missing eye.
