Well, with me being in the lighting industry and all I feel compelled to let you know that the correct term is neither "lightbulb" nor is it "light bulb". Even "light-bulb" is incorrect.
Its technical term is "Bulbish-thingy-that-gets-rid-of-the-dark-so-that-we-don't-walk-into-things-and-bruise-our-shins".
Consider yourself informed.

Fairly accurate picture of uber, though I have no idea what kind of post would actually get that many reviews.

That particular light bulb is a recreation of Thomas Edison's original version. It takes the power of a conventional 60V light blub, and gives off the light of a conventional 25V light bulb.

I really wanted to be "funny" and minus two you, saying only, "YELLOW GAS ATTACK", but I didn't REALLY want to give you a -2, so then I thought, "I'll plus two him and say "YELLOW GAS ATTACK", but if I did that, someone would be eager to point out that I mixed it up... and, ah, so... instead I choose a +2 and a diagram of my thought process.

i'm pretty damn sure this exact thing has been posted before, but since i'm not sure (mostly b/c of the "yellow gas attack" reference) i won't -2 this. it was funny the first time though.

203 to flame with a stream of -2s and "Yellow Gas Attack"s
127 to tell Yellow Gas Man to die
348 to whine to bart requesting that Yellow Gas Attack be banned from uber
