Did You Know ... ?

... that Thomas Edison did not actually invent the light bulb?

Well, he didn't! It's news to me, too! I mean, don't you think the teachers should have at least known? All this time I've thought that Edison was the reason I can see in the dark! Pffft! He improved the design of it, not to mention he owned one of the first electric companies (crook!), but did NOT invent the light bulb. I feel robbed! I'm just sayin' ...

Lights & High Energy costs

There are a few of you out there, that I know, who will most likely have an answer for me. I hope it's the one I'm looking for, but we'll see. 


How much does leaving a light on really cost? The reason I ask is because I have a tendency to leave the lights on in the house. It's a horrible habit, I admit, but it's one I'm having trouble breaking. Although, I told Devil last night that I will do my best to turn every light off when I leave the room. So far I've had to go back through the house and turn them all off a few times already. So much for remembering that one. Anyway, when the light is on, is it adding $$$ for our, already crooked, electric company?


P.S. I haven't told him this part, but when he's out with the guys, I leave every light on in the house until I go to bed. I mean, if someone is standing in the bathtub waiting to jump me, I want to at least see him. You're probably wondering why on earth would I worry about that..I think I watch too much True Crime stories and it doesn't help that I'm terrified of the dark..anyway, that's more than you really needed to know..just answer the question, please.
