Just when you thought the world couldn't get any weirder:

"The Centennial Light is the world's longest-lasting light bulb, burning since 1901, and almost never switched off."



"The bulb is cared for by the Centennial Light Bulb Committee, a partnership of the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department, Livermore Heritage Guild, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, and Sandia National Laboratories."


Have heard of it before... the folks who made it must have been bright.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

You don't know much, and that's a fact.

But I do know how to recognize a forger.

I can recognize a twit when I see one.

Happy your mirror's are working.

I need to set up my mobile client to tag your real posts as you. On my desktop client, the beta one I generally use now, your posts are marked in green. Those who tend to troll a lot are marked in red. Those who are not even worth that are marked in brown.

Why mark? I just send anyone I don't want to read into the bin. Along with any replies to them.

I do set some to auto-read (in addition to color coding)... but I admit I tend to respond to trolling more than I can defend.

So that they match your underwear?

Have you ever become enemies with a friend?

Is that what Macs are for?

I have better things to do with my time to even read them.

Not enemies, no. Pissed off with them? Yes.

But still better than a compact fluorescent.

They are more reliable, for sure!
