God I love AP 'Merican Historyemotion_drool
Oh I loved my AP American history class in high school, funny thing, the same class in college? I spent most of that class just taking notes and writing short stories in my notebook. Still got an A wink
We also talked about how someday regular incandescent light bulbs would be like something that you had to buy off the black market, because they'd make everyone switch over to the new twisty 'energy' saving bulbs and the others would be against the law to use eventually. Don't ask me how we got on that topic, had something to do with Prohibition, but IDEK. Class was still freaking awesome.

You can't buy incandescent bulbs here any more. Which is all well & good, but a lot of light fittings just aren't designed for 'twisty' bulbs so you have to leave the covers off.
