[Spridgets] Light Bulbs

[oldsaabguy]

.. but you know the REAL answer right..  it *glows*..  they can 't  
even measure the lumens off those things because it's sooooo  
looowwwwww...  anyone could make a bulb that doesn't put out any  
light and make it last forever.  Hell I can make tires that will last  
forever too but they'll be made of depleted uranium and will handle  
like caca and cause you to sink to the hubs on an asphalt street if  
temps rise above 40 degrees..

.. and no, I don't have any depleted Uranium
