I've got a CFL (100watt equivalent) in a completely enclosed glass fitting in the bathroom. It has lasted just fine.

I don't think I'd want a fitting that could hold the heat enough to make a CFL get to 100C. That would mean an incandescent would get a lot hotter than that! What of the surrounding stuff, like the ceiling?

Yes, and so was Chernobyl. I prefer not to have things that hot inside my house.

While proudly showing off his new fraternity house to friends, a college student led the way into the den. "What is the big brass gong and hammer for?" one of his friends asked.
"That's the talking clock", the man replied, with a grin. "Let me show you how it works!" And with that, he gave the gong an ear-shattering pound with the hammer.
Suddenly someone screamed from the other side of the wall, "KNOCK IT OFF, YOU ARSEHOLES! IT'S 2 AM!"

Really? Have you met most pet owners? Or are you just lying, as

I've met loads, ones I've sold parrots to or bought parrots from.

I don't keep them in cages. 99% of people do. And yes there is a lot of claning up to do.



So a sample so small as to be meaningless.


It's big enough.

Too bad you didn't study
statistics. Some pets like cages.


Parrots do not. They are supposed to FLY.

They feel secure, in their own space.


As do prisoners?

I suppose you are against fenced in yards & dog houses, too.


And I suppose you condone battery farms.

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

I got an LED array that uses 45 watts. See if you can hold that.


What size is it? If it's too hot to hold I doubt the LEDs will last long.



You really are dense, aren't you? Some LED arrays are built on an
aluminum heatsink.

If it's too hot for me to hold, the LEDs will also be too hot. If the heatsink is working, then it won't be too hot for my hand or the LEDs.

A first-grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, "Little Johnny what is your problem?"

Little Johnny answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in the third-grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third-grade too!"

The teacher had enough. She took Little Johnny to the principal's office. While Little Johnny waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told the teacher he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the first-grade and behave. The teacher agreed. Little Johnny was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Little Johnny: "9"

Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Little Johnny: "36"

And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grade should know. The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, "I think Little Johnny can go to the third-grade."
The teacher says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions?" The principal and Little Johnny both agree.

Teacher: "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?
Little Johnny: "Legs"

Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?" (The principal wondered, why does she ask such a question!)
Little Johnny: "Pockets"

Teacher: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"
Little Johnny: "Pants"

Teacher: What's starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?"
(The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer...)
Little Johnny: "Coconut"

Teacher: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"
Little Johnny: "Bubblegum"

Teacher: "What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and a dog do on three legs?" (The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer...)
Little Johnny: "Shake hands"

Teacher: "Now I will ask some '"Who am I" sort of questions, okay?"
Little Johnny: "Yup"

Teacher: "You blow me, you feel good"
Little Johnny: "Nose"

Teacher: "I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver"
Little Johnny: "Arrow"

Teacher: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of excitement?"
Little Johnny: "Firetruck"

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put his ass in the fifth-grade, I got the last ten questions wrong myself!"

There was an old professor who started every class with a vulgar joke. After one particularly nasty example, the women in the class decided to walk out the next time he started.
The professor got wind of this plot, so the next morning he walked in and said, "Good morning, class. Did you hear the one about the shortage of whores in India?"
With that, all the women stood up and headed for the door.
"Wait ladies!" cried the professor. "The boat doesn't leave until tomorrow!"

An oven is not mounted on the ceiling. An oven does not have plastic parts (in the actual light socket) that can become brittle with age and heat.

A guy traveling through the prairies of the USA stopped at a small town and went to a bar.
He stood at the end of the bar, ordered a drink, and lit up a cigar.
As he sipped his drink, he stood there quietly blowing smoke rings.
After he blew nine or ten smoke rings into the air, an angry American Indian stomped up to him and said,
"One more remark like that and I'll whip your butt!"

A bloke is in a queue at the Super Market when he notices that the rather dishy blonde behind him has just raised her hand and smiled hello to him.
He is rather taken aback that such a looker would be waving to him, and although familiar he can't place where he might know her from, so he says "Sorry, do you know me?"
She replies "I maybe mistaken, but I thought you might be the father of one of my children!"
His mind shoots back to the one and only time he has been unfaithful, "Christ!" he says "are you that stripogram on my stag night that I shagged on the snooker table in front of all my mates while your mate whipped me with some wet celery and stuck a cucumber up my arse?"
"No" she replies, "I'm your son's English Teacher"

I've met loads, ones I've sold parrots to or bought parrots from.

It's big enough.

Too bad you didn't study

Parrots do not. They are supposed to FLY.



Then why do you keep them in your house? hey should be free to fly

I don't want to know about your time in prison, or your prison

I suppose you are against fenced in yards & dog houses, too.


And I suppose you condone battery farms.



WTF is a battery farm? Do you start with AAAA cells, then feed &

Its a European term - e.g. egg laying chickens kept in tiny compartments so
small they can't even turn round!

I got an LED array that uses 45 watts. See if you can hold that.

What size is it? If it's too hot to hold I doubt the LEDs will last long.


You really are dense, aren't you? Some LED arrays are built on an
aluminum heatsink.

If it's too hot for me to hold, the LEDs will also be too hot. If the heatsink is working, then it won't be too hot for my hand or the LEDs.



Sure its ok. What's that smell? Someone is cooking bacon!


Are you telling me you'd be happy to design an LED light where the LEDs were hot enough to burn skin? They wouldn't like that temperature.

In a transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning. One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in the front of the plane. "I'm too young to die!" she wails. Then she yells, "Well, if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on Earth to be memorable! I've had plenty of sex in my life, but no one has ever made me really feel like a woman! Well, I've had it! Is there ANYONE on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN??" For a moment there is silence. Everyone has forgotten their own peril, and they all stare, riveted, at the desperate woman in the front of the plane. Then,
a man stands up in the rear of the plane. "I can make you feel like a woman," he says. He's gorgeous. Tall, built, with long, flowing black hair and jet black eyes, he starts to walk slowly up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt one button at a time. No one moves. The woman is breathing heavily in anticipation as the stranger approaches. He removes his shirt. Muscles ripple across his chest as he reaches her. He extends the arm holding his shirt to the trembling
woman, and whispers: "Iron this."

Truly amazing! Your ignorance is something to behold.

Are my LEDs magical then? Because they certainly are not warmer than I am.


No, just substandard.


They are about as efficient as they get.

The other night I was invited out for a night with the 'girls.' I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, 'I promise!'
Well, the hours passed and the margarita's went down way too easily. Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home.
Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution in order to escape a possible conflict with him.
(Even when totally smashed... 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals 12 cuckoos = MIDNIGHT!)
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him 'MIDNIGHT'... he didn't seem ****ed off in the least. Whew, I got away with that one!
Then he said 'We need a new cuckoo clock.'
When I asked him why, he said, 'Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said 'oh ****.' Cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.

I've got a CFL (100watt equivalent) in a completely enclosed glass fitting in the bathroom. It has lasted just fine.

I don't think I'd want a fitting that could hold the heat enough to make a CFL get to 100C. That would mean an incandescent would get a lot hotter than that! What of the surrounding stuff, like the ceiling?

Yes, and so was Chernobyl. I prefer not to have things that hot inside my house.

An oven is not mounted on the ceiling. An oven does not have plastic parts (in the actual light socket) that can become brittle with age and heat.

That some other people have a maid? How does that make me pompous,
or a snob, when I've never had a maid, or any help? I started working
part time at 13, after school & weekends at a TV shop. I still cook,
clean & do my own laundry. I also do volunteer work by collecting old

Veterans. I am no longer allowed to work, due to my failing health, but
I have to keep busy on the days I can get out of bed. All you do is

Yes, they come from free range chickens. Rather gamy tasting
critters. You get on an international newsgroup, then blather on in
British slang, then throw a hissy fit when someone questions you.
Pathetic. Are you sure you aren't French?

I got an LED array that uses 45 watts. See if you can hold that.

What size is it? If it's too hot to hold I doubt the LEDs will
last long.


You really are dense, aren't you? Some LED arrays are built on
an
aluminum heatsink.

If it's too hot for me to hold, the LEDs will also be too hot. If the
heatsink is working, then it won't be too hot for my hand or the LEDs.


Sure its ok. What's that smell? Someone is cooking bacon!


Are you telling me you'd be happy to design an LED light where the LEDs
were hot enough to burn skin? They wouldn't like that temperature.



Are you telling me that your mother had any kids who weren't born
brain dead?


He was probably dropped on his head a lot as an infant.

I've got a CFL (100watt equivalent) in a completely enclosed
glass
fitting in the bathroom. It has lasted just fine.

I don't think I'd want a fitting that could hold the heat enough
to
make a CFL get to 100C. That would mean an incandescent would
get
a lot hotter than that! What of the surrounding stuff, like the
ceiling?

Yes, and so was Chernobyl. I prefer not to have things that hot
inside my house.


Well, we don't have to worry about any of your bright ideas
setting
the world on fire. For someone who claims to have a honors degree in
Physuics, you don't know anything. Do you ever cook anything, or do
you
live on birdseed?

An oven is not mounted on the ceiling. An oven does not have plastic
parts (in the actual light socket) that can become brittle with age and
heat.


You said: " I prefer not to have things that hot inside my house.",
so you are either quite ignorant, or just another liar.


PHucker frequently get confused about something he or someone else has
said,
then gets in an argument with anyone who corrects him.


It's to garner attention/troll. I've seen Peter post on the upwards of
400 times a day. I don't know him but one could assume that someone
with that much time to spend on a PC could be severely disabled and
only be able to communicate over the internet with a diverse group of
people.


He claims to be in full time employment as tech support in a computer firm
or some such, I've seen him post on 24hoursupport.helpdesk - but only to
make silly comments, never to help anyone.

If you've noticed the petersparrots.com in his sig file, that's because he
breeds and sells parrots (probably on the black).

On alt.binaries.chatter he frequently goes on about the flash car he has and
braggs about what pride he takes in his appalling driving - routinely
running red lights and speeding whenever his satnav said no speed cameras,
at one point he was openly bragging about speeding in a car with defective
ABS, which he'd taken the bulb out of the warning light to scam it through
the MOT test.

All said and done, I'll concede he might be not well in the head.

Really? Have you met most pet owners? Or are you just lying,

usual?

I've met loads, ones I've sold parrots to or bought parrots from.

I don't keep them in cages. 99% of people do. And yes there is a

It's big enough.

Too bad you didn't study
statistics. Some pets like cages.

Parrots do not. They are supposed to FLY.


Then why do you keep them in your house? hey should be free to fly
anywhere they want to. You just keep them in a bigger cage.

It is safer in the house away from predators and cars.



Then leave them in Africa or South America where they belong.


They feel secure, in their own space.

As do prisoners?


I don't want to know about your time in prison, or your prison
'freinds'.

You're projecting.

I suppose you are against fenced in yards & dog houses, too.

And I suppose you condone battery farms.


WTF is a battery farm? Do you start with AAAA cells, then feed &

We are led to believe that animal welfare legislation in the UK is more

Disgusting. I had relatives with a chicken farm in Kentucky years
ago, and it was nothing like that. It was cleaned daily, well lit, and
the chickens had plenty of room to move around. Each of their buildings
were concrete block with sheet metal roofs, and plenty of ventilation
that could be partially closed down in the winter. You could barely
tell that animals were there from the odor. Mostly, you smelled the
shelled corn they were fed.

I doubt it's anywhere near 400. For your information I spend about 1 hour on usenet a day.
