Bill Gates Air Conditioning Tips

You know there is no such thing as Light.. There is just the absence of Dark!

Universal Theory of Dark For years it has been believed that electric bulbs emitted light. However, recent information has proven otherwise. Electric bulbs don't emit light, they suck dark. Thus we call these bulbs dark suckers. The dark sucker theory proves the existence of dark, that dark has mass heavier than that of light, and that dark is faster than light.

The basis of the dark sucker theory is that electric bulbs suck dark. Take for example, the dark suckers in the room where you are. There is less dark right next to them than there is elsewhere.

The larger the dark sucker, the greater its capacity to suck dark. Dark suckers in a parking lot have a much greater capacity than the ones in this room.

As with all things, dark suckers don't last forever. Once they are full of dark, they can no longer suck. This is proven by the black spot on a full dark sucker.

A candle is a primitive dark sucker. A new candle has a white wick. You will notice that after the first use, the wick turns black, representing all the dark which has been sucked into it.

If you hold a pencil next to the wick of an operating candle, the tip will turn black because it got in the way of the dark flowing into the candle. Unfortunately, these primitive dark suckers have a very limited range.

There are also portable dark suckers. The bulbs in these can't handle all of the dark by themselves, and must be aided by a dark storage unit. When the dark storage unit is full, it must be either emptied or replaced before the portable dark sucker can operate again.

Dark has mass. When dark goes into a dark sucker, friction from this mass generates heat. Thus it is not wise to touch an operating dark sucker.

Candles present a special problem, as the dark must travel into the solid wick instead of through glass. This generates a great amount of heat. Thus it can be very dangerous to touch an operating candle.

Dark is also heavier than light. If you swim just below the surface of a lake, you will see a lot of light. If you swim deeper and deeper, you notice it gets slowly darker and darker.

When you reach a depth of approximatley fifty feet, you are in total darkness. This is because the heavier dark sinks to the bottom of the lake and the lighter light floats to the top.

The immense power of dark can be utilized to man's advantage. We can collect the dark that has settled to the bottom of lakes and push it through turbines, which generates electricity and helps push dark to the ocean, where it may be safely stored.

Prior to turbines, it was it was much more difficult to get dark from the rivers and lakes to the ocean. The indians recognized this problem, and tried to solve it.

When on a river in a canoe travelling in the same direction as the flow of dark, they paddled slowly, so as not to stop the flow of dark; but when they travelled against the flow of dark, they paddled quickly so as to help push the dark along its way.

Finally, we must prove that dark is faster than light. If you were to stand in an illuminated room in front of a closed, dark closet, then slowly open the closet door, you would see the light slowly enter the closet; but since the dark is so fast, you would not be able to see the dark leave the closet.

In conclusion, I would like to say that dark suckers make all our lives much easier. So the next time you look at an electric bulb remember that it is indeed a dark sucker.

I hope that you are kidding. Switching over to a lot of incandescents in the winter is basically the same as deciding that you are going to perform a portion of your home's heating with electrical resistance heating.

Just like many others, I don't get as concerned about leaving lights (incandescent or fluorescent) turned on in the winter as much as I do in the summer. The heat from lights in the summer is an extra burden placed upon the AC system. But I would never intentionally use lights for heat, except in an emergency. If a gas furnace fails, the house can often be kept quite comfortable by leaving on all lights, TVs, PCs, etc. Leave the furnace fan running continuously to create a few extra BTUs and to help circulate heat somewhat uniformly. Operating a couple of small electric heaters may be necessary for a reasonable comfort level. This all depends upon current outdoor temperatures.

Filling tubs and sinks with gas heated hot water adds more BTUs. This whole process is expensive, but it works in an emergency.

But wasting electricity on a routine basis to help heat the house is a very expensive source of heat.

I wish you people would get with the program. Incandescent lights USE heat. Bill Gates sez so.

Yeah, we all know bulbs don't USE heat, but create heat. But for you and your hatred for everything Gates and Microsoft seem to want to make an issue of what everybody already understands.

Yes, that way I use less electricity!

And it's true. They use heat to make the filament glow.

You are a pretty dim bulb!

You also produce a lot more heat than light.
