When they market a light bulb as long lasting, I don't think they mean this long.

That sounded kind of like the poorly translated directions to a cheap chinese lead paint covered toy. [Wink]

I wonder how much longer the bulb will hold out.

Some fucko will undoubtedly try to smash the thing due to the publicity.
Kinda shows how things used to be made- with the idea of the product working constantly untill failure- today everything starts out with a idea that it will be replaced with something better.

They visited that firestation on Mythbusters sometime last year. I forget what they were there for, though.

I think it was the one where they tested whether or not leaving a light bulb on is more efficient than turning it on and off.
