Light bulbs don’t really emit light, they actually suck dark. Shadows for example exist because something is in the way between the bulb and the area in shadow and the bulb can’t suck as well there. Also, when light bulbs stop working, it’s really because they are all filled up with dark.

    There is no gravity, the Earth sucks.
  • rising water levels are actually being caused by the over fishing of whales. They might be big but the amount of water they swallow vastly outweighs their size. If we had more whales in the oceans the water levels would go back to pre mass whaling hunting levels.

    Are you saying that Archimedes was wrong to run naked through the streets of Syracuse yelling, 'Eureka?'

    The mass of whales causes water to rise regardless of the water they hold - which incidentally is in their mouths and not in their bellies. When a whale surfaces the water in its mouth drains back to the sea through its baleen plates.

    Don't know why but that reminded me of the little blonde barmaid who worked in the Pickwick.

    Getting the pool cleaned can be more fun than it sounds
