You forgot:
1 to say that LED's are better because 1) they use way less electricity, 2)they last longer, 3) the price is coming down, and D) to mess up the numbering.

I've finished the Aeropostale adventure I started last September with the Staggerwing in La Paz.

After a holiday break I am now flying down the Amazon river with an amphibian Cessna C 185F, while still running my cargo company in Alaska / British Columbia.

Someone needs to set up a light bulb wish list.

Add a statistic for people who personally attack you for posting about changing a light bulb and it would be the RoF forum!

You also forgot to add in the five folks who will make bad jokes about the topic.

I ate a light bulb once because I though it would make me brighter.
Watt?
I said I ate a light bulb once because I thought it would make me brighter.
No, not what - watt. How many?
I told you, one.
No, not how many light bulbs, how many watts?
What?
Yes - watts.
No, what?
What?
I'm losing the filament of this go-round.
Tungsten?
What?
The filament. Is it tungsten or molybdenum?
I knew a Molly Denham once.
What?
Not what - who. Molly Denham, I knew her in high school.
No, not Molly Denham - molybdenum - the filament, in your light bulb.
You mean the one I ate?
Yes.
I don't know, what does molybdenum taste like?
How would I know, I've never eaten a light bulb. Why would I?
To make yourself brighter.
Watt?
