If you have ever slept in a hotel room (infamous for their dry air) in the north in the winter and seen all the static electricity you make but just turning OVER, you realize can have this for free. #expose
The only way this would attract a woman into your bed is if she were genetically modified with genes from a fly. But even if that were the case and fly-women were your thing you could get the same effect by taking a dump on your bed and saving yourself the 7.5k. #expose
@Xagest: The appearance of what looks like some sort of anime or manga character confirms that no normal person would ever want to sleep with the "several girls" who are crazy about blue LEDs. #expose
@Brazell: One of those girls is my little sister, so that's just awkward from the get go. But she's also an electrical engineer, so the feel of glee when things light up is in her nature. #expose
@strideo: You might want to start buying your mushrooms at the grocery store instead of gathering them from your back yard for the morning omelet... Just a suggestion. #expose
@strideo: Oh, I see it. The round cutouts on the walls are the eyes and the lips (open mouth) are the lit up blue parts. The bed is showing us its 'O' face. Awwww yeah... bow-chicka-wow-wow...
@Software_Goddess: I agree. I can understand they were going for a Sun,Moon & Stars type of motif. But the bedspread screams 10yr. old with a bed wetting problem. #expose
My wife needed a land line for 3 months so she called and had them hook it up. Called to cancel the other day and they say we cant cause we signed up for a 1 Frackin Year Contract! WTF? Since when do land lines have contracts? Was news to both of us. So it's either pay $250 to get out or keep it for another 9months....f'n bastards Frontier sobs! #telephonelinepoweredlamp
@bonedog73: out of curiosity, is your cellphone provided by the same company? they may have bundled the two together contractually for a lower price. #telephonelinepoweredlamp
As news of this lamp spread around the blogosphere, John McCain began drafting legislation to deal with these "electricity pirates".
How are electricity companies, who provide power for your television, stereo, embedded household lights, kitchen appliances, and cell phones supposed to compete when people are powering their lamps for free from the telco industries? Not to mention that AT&T and Verizon are now footing the bill for this tiny lamp. Outrageous! #telephonelinepoweredlamp
I can only ASSume that you must have telephone service for this to work? Anyone... Anyone... Bueller? Who has landlines anymore. If you don't need "active" service, I'm lighting up my house for next to nothing. I counted 9 phonejacks so far. #telephonelinepoweredlamp
@TerryinSt.Paul: I was wondering that too, but after some unresearched thought, I believe the phone jacks are powered whether or not you have phone service, so the lamp will work, but it may not be able to make local or long distance phone calls.
I honestly don't even know for sure if my current place has phone jacks... It's an 80 year old building, built without them. I'm sure they were installed along the floorboards at some point, the common practice for retro fitting phone jacks, but the previous owner replaced the floorboards. He was a young guy, probably didn't have a landline, and I never even checked to see if he bothered to reattatch the little jacks! #telephonelinepoweredlamp
