Outside. Middle, upfront!

Why wouldn't they just say its a torch except you smack it against something and it lasts for 6 hours?

Sunrod

Price 2 gp; Weight 1 lb.

This 1-foot-long, gold-tipped iron rod glows brightly when struck (a standard action). It sheds normal light in a 30-foot radius and increases the light level by one step for an additional 30 feet beyond that area (darkness becomes dim light and dim light becomes normal light). A sunrod does not increase the light level in normal light or bright light. It glows for 6 hours, after which the gold tip is burned out and worthless.

So strange the creators of this game would use the word darkness. So strange.

Spell names are always italicized in Pathfinder rules. If it's not italicized, it's not referring to a spell.

Having never noticed italianized text in an item description before, it'd be just wondrous if you could provide and example so I can continue to grow and learn.

Darkness is a spell and a lighting level.

Oh? News to me.

It is true, sunrods are pretty awesome.

I guess it all depend if the GM is running the scenario cold.

You asked four pretty straightforward questions. They have been answered, no?

Sunrods are king of all light sources.

Its OK your insidious faction will be booted by the Ten in short order. So the only thing you have to worry about is what faction you are going to join in the coming year. >:]

This would make a great email to Paizo Staff.

I believe that it has been stated by Paizo that, unless otherwise stated, all NPCs are considered to be bisexual.

Oh? I'd very much like to see your proof. This would have quite a large impact on the world of Golarion.

How close to right did this burglar get? Not very.

Take 20 does not equal "getting it right".

Semantics may not matter to you, but as an ESL person I try.

Second: You've asserted that it's a matter of semantics "not mattering to you". As directly quoted text, we don't get to change the wording to 'clarify' semantics when we're trying to establish the baseline rules in a consolidated reference, without interpretation. I'd suggest your assertion is inappropriate to the purpose of the thread.

Just to be clear, since I'm not sure if you understood me. Semantics do matter to me. A simple clarification that the CRB choose its wording poorly is all that is needed. You don't get it right taking 20.
