What part of CFL lamps overheating and catching on fire goes

over your head?

It only happens extremely occasionally.


A hell of a lot more often than with incandescent lamps. A lot of
incandescent fixtures are not designed for safe operation of CFL
lamps.


PHucker boasts of having rigged his house with cobbled together 12V
lighting
run from solar panels and scrounged end of life car batteries, he most
likely had some scares using LV halogens in unsuitable enclosures.


With any luck, it will burn to the ground from his shoddy work.

He has a number of parrots loose in the house - it wouldn't be fair on
them!


So, everything there is a birdbrain?


PHucker has a *very* high opinion of his own intelligence and a very low
opinion of everyone else's.


So he's not a 'savant'?

I have an honours degree.

Amanpreet was at the county fair when he happened upon a fortune teller's tent. Thinking, "What the heck, it'll be good for a laugh or two," he dashed inside and sat down.
The fortune teller took his money, lowered the lights, and gazed into her crystal ball. "Ahhh," she said, "I see you are the father of two children!"
"Ha!" Lizard Pecker said, "That's what you think. I'm the father of THREE children."
The woman grinned and said, "That's what YOU think."
