If LED lighting ever becomes cheap enough, it would (theoretically) be possible to have separate red, green, and blue elements, so you could adjust the color temperature.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
"Roger Clemens adamantly, vehemently, and whatever other adjectives can be used, denies that he has ever used steroids or ... improper substances," Clemens' attorney, Rusty Hardin said Thursday.
If anyone has the full quote without the ellipses, it's even better, IIRC. (AFAIK Hardin is a pretty fancy lawyer, though.)

I just liked the light of the halogen better. And the dimmability. But then the halogen's rheostat died and I discovered that they no longer sell those inexpensive halogen torchiers everywhere.
Man, I bought some "dimmable" CFLs for a lamp with a dimmer switch and they buzzed like a hive of bees. They got taken out immediately.

Huh, so. I got a raise and a bonus, and an opportunity to increase my pay with special projects next year. I wasn't expecting that.

So not killing people has its advantages then?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Maybe that's what "special projects" is....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
For those of you who object to the shape of the twisty CFLs, there are now domed lights available that look more like traditional incandescents.
For those of you who don't like the quality of the light, there are a wide variety available now. You should look for a color temperature near that of incandescents (2700K - 2800K, I think) and as high a color rendering index (CRI) as possible (incandescents are 95, you want at least 80 out of your CFL.)
