23 Dec 10 Two Trainees
Two Trainees working in the same office, one wanted some time off, but knew the boss wouldn’t allow him to take leave.
He decided to act crazy so the boss would tell him to take a few days off. He hung upside down from the ceiling so the other Trainee asks him “What are you doing’?”
“Ah pretending to be ah light bulb so the boss will think ah crazy and give me time off for a few days”.
Just then de boss walks in. “What the arse you doing?”
“I am ah light bulb” the trainee says.
De boss then said, “Man you stress out. You need few days off to recover…go home and come back when you feel better.”
The other Trainee starts walking out the door too…
The boss asks him “Where the hell you think you’re going?”
The other Trainee replied “I going home….I cant work in the dark.

13 Nov 07 CFLs
Compact Florescent Lamps.
Did you know that if you change a 100W regular light bulb for a 25W CFL (which gives a similar light output), you not only save 75% of the energy cost but also save the equivalent amount of carbon going into the atmosphere that your car pumps out in 93 miles?
Doing a quick bit of math here. As we have 33 bulbs in the house here, and they’re all now CFLs that’s the equivalent carbon output from driving over 3,000 miles in the average car (at 23.9mpg).
A regular light bulb only puts out 8% of the electrical energy it uses as light anyway. The rest is heat. Now you know why they’re so darned hot!
