Light!

How many light bulbs can you find in your home (including flashlights, the refrigerator, etc.)?
Submitted by Strive2Be.

I am making three assumptions here: 1) you mean those actually plugged in; 2) by flashlight, you mean torch; and 3) you mean those inside the house and not those outside.

In that case, the answer (I think - I am not at home as I write) is:

In honour of Johnny Appleseed Day, show us a tree.

Johnny Appleseed Day? What on earth is that?

Come on! You're having me on. Surely there is no such thing! And what is a Johnny Appleseed anyway?

Vox Hunt: And the Oscar Goes to...

nobody@vox.com(Scotty) — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 06:02:31 +0200

Share your favorite Oscar moment.

The rolling credits at the end.

Seriously.

The red carpet

Oscars, indeed. Why on earth would I want to watch a whole bunch of actors patting each other on the back for doing their job?

Doctors, nurses, charity workers, firemen, teachers ... so many people do meaningful jobs every day, jobs that have a significant impact on our lives and on society, and yet they are not honoured.

But dress up, spend some time in a fantasy world where you recite some lines someone else wrote and the whole world watches while your colleagues give you a little golden dolly and sings your praises.

There's something fundamentally wrong with that.
