That one is most definitely my favorite. Thanks for posting, Pip.

I am in the lighting industry and this is the correct term.

"light bulb" is fine for vernacular, however, "lamp" is the proper term.

Good one.

It reminds me of this one:

1 to hold the nail

I think you should put one in any random orifice on you and see if you can excite that tungsten filament in argon gas. ::xoxo: If you are feeling incandescent that is. If you are feeling fluorescent, then it could require another person :eek: BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTT
