I was reading the Matrix Glitch thread which includes some cracking Reddit threads. I was reading these in the morning before heading off to work at 4am. I was properly spooked by the various tories and by what the Missus had just told me about an old friend of hers who shared the same birthday and same day of death with her mother (!!)
So I'm about to start my car, and I could swear the garage light blinked. Except it's an incandescent bulb, not florescent tube. Somewhat startled, I started backing down the driveway, and the neighbor's garage light across the street went out !!! Like someone had shot the bulb out. No flicker, just POW!! I should point out the neighbor only recently installed this light and it has been working properly so far.

I usually make street lights blink out when in high spirits.

They are a bit scary aren't they?

I'm sure there was an eternal light bulb or two mentioned in one of those UK TV magazine shows, like Nationwide or That's Life, where you'd get some little old lady who had stayed in the same house for two hundred years or whatever, and had the same lightbulb in her hallway all that time. They've probably all been replaced by the energy saving kind now. The bulbs, not the old ladies.


And yet they're more interested in the lightbulb!?!

Well, I was exaggerating for figurative effect, but the point holds!
