    Oyule do anything for a buck, designers! Lighten up and create something affordable. You say watt's $650 for a well-designed product, I say you're dim if you expect anyone to buy it. You may think you could filamint with all the money you'd make, given the difference in price and the cost of materials, but in this burned out economy you're not going to seem so bright.

    I'm assuming this is thicker glass than an actual light bulb? If not, these look amazingly unsafe.

    imagine a lightbulb with the guts still inside filled with a flammable liquid. When plugged in the coil would spark the flammable liquid causing an small explosion but don't forget its housed in very sharp easy to break glass that would go flying around at high speeds (maybe not).

    Edison's little known precursor to the electric light bulb, apparently. It is a beautiful design, but while electricity has gotten expensive, perhaps not $650 expensive.

    @Monty: Or you can go on instructables and they will tach you how to make these for free.... I have several... I used old lightbulbs cut up pieces of cotton sock and some washers... oh and lamp oil and little magnets. It took me 15 min for one... $650 is for suckers.

    Q: How many software engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

    A: Just one. But it takes them all night. And when they're done, the washing machine doesn't work right.

    And if you're not into plants the bulb can also be used to make an oil lamp.

    My fantasy cruel housewarming joke here in southern California is a large globe-shaped fishbowl filled with multicolored marbles to be placed square in the middle of a mantelpiece. Ideally (and, for gift to work properly), over hardwood floor.

    As I said, awfully cruel. And now that I've said it, I'm sure newbies to the state will look out for anything glass and filled with marbles.

    And thanks to the stupid ADA, this doorknob is illegal. It's round. No round doorknobs are allowed under the ADA.

    man, a lot of what the ADA does is retarded. Why are they trying to cripple innovation? they're impairing inventors left and right, and don't get me started on their tax burden - they cost an arm and a leg!
