... if you fill it with glycerine and submerge it in glycerine, because glass and glycerine have similar refractive indices.

@Tom: Perhaps ted was referring to incidents where people have been poisoned by contaminated glycerin.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerine about poisonings in 2007 from glycerine contaminated with diethylene glycol.

But yeah, glycerine in and of itself is not poisonous, and is used as a sweetener.
