Did you know it's insane?

No, inane was the word I meant to use (in dictionary under I).
Although insane is another way of looking at them :D
Correcting the corrections no1 ;)

LOL! I would say thats only 1000 of the 17000-20000 members
Lightbulbs arn't eco-friendly, back to you DC :D LOL but they are so true, that is the hardest I laughed for a while (not incuding the conversations in chat involving CG and the necromatic bonestaff ;) .
There you go that takes care of the EF lover and the topic change.
What about the 53 Lightbulb Lawyers to point out the flaws in installing lightbulbs, and that you can actually install them sideways if you do it a certain way?
What happened to the 43 realmers debating over which stores offering the best deals on lightbulbs, and whether it is more advantagous to purchase them in bulk.......
Xan, is it the LE Woodchuck? It chucks way more wood, but I wish it was generally distributed instead of being an LE, because it's really breaking the ecosystem and making it not fun for people who don't have it.

No it is just the tough version of the Woodchuck. I haven't seen the LE yet, but I heard it has large pointy teeth.
