I saw that last night as well, the longest burning light bulb is a 4 watt bulb that has been bruning for over a 100 years, but I didn't catch where it was.

This post is still funny even though it has been posted several times !!!
We like humor on the Playa board and this is just another chance for us to go waaaayyyyy off topic and talk about ricking, drugs or rock and roll !!!! (or Willie) or drinking Tequila !!!
