Thanks! This topic is the funniest thing on SW in a long, long time! I also agree with xxo. The beginning was (painfully) true. [ Wednesday, December 17, 2003 05:39: Message edited by: Ironweed ] Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

When I was a kid, we had different light bulbs from the ones you see today. There's a good description of the contortions we had to go through to change them right here. —Alorael, who would like to know where the 1 mod who closes the topic is, and where the 1 mod who reopens it for unclear reasons is.

Both of you are dead wrong. Attempts such as Dolney's at humor are rarely, if ever, successful. The funniest material on SW is to be found in the flame war threads.

And then the discussion about whether they're light givers, or dark suckers. I think they just suck the dark out of the room, and when they're full up they stop working. -------------------- I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let's evolve.

Close. The dark goes along the power lines to a large power plant where it is compressed into a black rock-like substance, which you can often see being transported by train to the dump. Lightbulbs stop working when a clump of dark congeals and clogs the wire, stopping it from leaving. -------------------- Grammar wenches beware: This is the house that the malt that the rat that the cat that the dog that the cow that the maiden that the man that the priest that the cock that the farmer kept waked married kissed milked tossed worried killed ate lay in.

Maybe the problem is that Alec, Djur and I haven't posted yet. Anyway, there are no suitably-sized holes in a lightbulb, and you can't very well make one without leaving lots of jagged glass around the edges, which is hardly ideal. Of course, there are other things one can do with a lightbulb, as a surprisingly large number of proctologists can attest. I can't believe I'm posting this. I couldn't even have done this on Misc. Have we no standards any more? ... oh, wait, you probably expected someone to post the mouse joke, didn't you? That explains your post a little better.
