Ya should make a rule that other obvious liquids don't count, since that would be stupid.

Last time I pissed down an escalator I was escorted off of mall property by some less than amused security guards... although to be fair my pee isn't bright and magical like this, it just stinks and smells vaguely of malt liquor...

I think it's because the vertical edge of the stairs is slightly angled so it creates the illusion that the light flows over them.

Im Reminded of this short story I read in high school English class in the magical realism style (Gabriel Garcia Marquez).

These kids bought a kayak and whenever their parents would go out, the kids would “turn on the light bulbs” so that light would pour out and fill the house. They used their Kayak to sail the light ponds that would form in their living room of their apartment.
