1 to state that a light bulb does not emit light, it sucks dark. After it is full, it stays dark. Have a nice day.

I think I might side with the one who clearly was right with the statement that "Light bulbs suck up darkness, and when they are full the remain dark"....I always say that people need to think more outside the box, and that's about as far outside the box is you can get :bwahaha::bwahaha: :bwahaha:

There's no evidence that these are all separate individual members. Maybe some of them had multiple statements filling multiple categories.

"Light bulbs suck up darkness, and when they are full the remain dark"

Of course, once they're full, they're no longer light bulbs--they're now heavy bulbs...

What if it's fluorescent? How many members will it take to dispose of it properly? How many members will get mercury poisoning if it breaks?

:banghead:

 

[Travis Stevens]

AND 1 PERSON TO CLAIM THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LIGHT BULB BUT THEY DO MAKE A DARK SUCKER THAT DOES EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. REMOVING THE DARK FROM A ROOM AND LEAVING ONLY LIGHT BEHIND :bwahaha:

 

[Jacob Dryer]

What if it's fluorescent? How many members will it take to dispose of it properly? How many members will get mercury poisoning if it breaks?

And how many posters to complain about the Federal Government's push to eliminate incandescent bulbs? And how many posters to complain about those complainers being non-"green"? And how many posters to turn that conversation into a political mud-slinging competition?

:bwahaha:
