The world's oldest light bulb has been burning for 111 years
- so little wonder it has a fan club with thousands of members and its own website. The so-called 'Centennial Light' has been on almost constantly since 1901. It holds pride of place in Fire Station 6, in Livermore, northern California. -- Curmudgeonly & Skeptical presents Boned Jello

I am given to understand that the whole "saving the planet" reason for the ban on incandescent bulbs was a ruse, and that the real reason is that fluorescent manufacturers wanted a gigantic captive market for lightbulbs, and pushed for the legislation.

I am, of course, shocked and surprised at these revelations.

I'm so proud that my congressman (Fred Upton) helped make this obsolete climate killer illegal.
