i like the last one !!!

i have plenty of experience changing light bulbs, and i must say that personally, i think light bulbs are overrated. i mean, come on, with the advent of flourescent tubes, the light bulb has overstayed its welcome..

given that a fraction of nepal still does not have electricity, we should all revert to using tuki lamps and candles at home if we cant agree on using flourescent tubes. this is just so that everyone is treated equally. now, before someone labels me anti-light bulb, let me just point out that i am neither pro nor anti-light bulb.

ZalimSingh is an experience and a knowledgeable man. If something goes wrong in my house regarding electricity, I would definitely hire Mr. ZalimSingh as an electrician. What do you think ZalimSingh?:)

I wonder if flip flops are also used in light bulbs?...but it is not a bad idea to have one coz electronics is related to electricity and light bulb ofcourse could be related to electronics. Which means flip flops can be used in light bulbs which means more or less energy is conserved. So the law of thermodynamics is completely true.

But the question still remains..how could light bulbs be if there are flip flops in it. Well flip flop is nothing more than flipping n flopping..so if it flips n flops more than a certain value so that a human eye cannot see then..bingo we have a light bulb working perfect but if it flips n flops at a slower pace then its chances that eye doctors will have quite a job to do. :D

Some one asked, "How many Bill Gates does it require to change a light bulb ?"
