The light bulb has been with us for a very long time. Thomas Edison’s invention literally changed the world. No longer did people have to depend on dim and dangerous oil lamps or candles to light their house. If you have suffered through a power outage you know what it is like to sit is a dark dim room lit up by a few candles.
Unfortunately, in their infinite wisdom Congress has started the process of dimming Thomas Edison’s light bulb once and for all. Starting January 1st, manufactures will no longer be allowed to produce the standard 100 watt light bulb. Other light bulbs will follow.
Rather we are committed to a future of using compact florescent bulbs. More expensive, slow to light up and, according to this EPA data sheet, dangerous to your health should you break one. Turns out they have to use mercury inside these things.
All in the name of save the earth from global warming. I have a hard time comprehending that people really believe that swapping out a light bulb is going to have any effect on the world climate. But that comes from someone who has wandered through hundreds of miles of wilderness. Once you have done that your understand the vastness of God’s creation and the smallness of man.
In any case, as you may or may not know, I love a good parody and this one by Remy Munasifi is a classic take off on the song “I’ll be missing you” performed originally by P. Diddy (known as Puff Daddy at the time) about the sudden loss of a close friend.
Enjoy. Oh, you might want to stock up on those incandescent light bulbs while you have chance.
