Ya ever hear people tell stories about being the type who are often the one under the street light when it goes out?

It happens to me often.

I usually just blame my Aura or something and ignore it.

But Something inexplicable just happened.

I flipped a light switch, and the bulb flashed bright and went out.

Nothing weird there. Light bulbs are made in China these days and therefore pieces of crap.

But when I went to the next room the bulb there wasn't working.

I did a check and found EVERY LIGHT BULB IN THE HOUSE BURNT OUT! Even the fluorescent ones in the kitchen.

The power was fine.

I did not pop a single circuit breaker. There were computers and a VCR and even the Playstation on at the time and none show any signs of trouble at all.

The power never went out.

I just blew out every light bulb in the house (It's a free standing house... not connected to any neighbors {none of whom had anything effected}).

Anyone have any ideas WHAT THE FLUFF JUST HAPPENED???

... That's hilarious.

you're magic, Rodak.

my advice would be to get an electrician before you touch those again.

You need a electrician to fix the light problem. It may be bad luck or bad wiring.

I have a good friend who finished electrician training stuff and got certified (but then took a job making stained glass windows... Bloody Artists!!) and he was here, checked out the fuse box with meters as a formality, but told me right off that this was impossible.

The bulbs are not all on the same circuit.

There were many bulbs whose switches were off.

There was no detectable problem with the circuitry.

Any surge strong enough to do that should have blown other stuff that was on at the time.

Is Mystery...

Peace.

You have electrical light bulb mutant... powers. Did you put all the bulbs in at the same time, and they died approximately around the same time? I'm doubting that.

I hate when lights burn out, it creeps me out. *flip switch* *flicker* *black*

*shivers*

You could have bought a bad pack of light blubs. I know how that feels. Well if your house is dark all the time then the neighbors will question your situation.

The bulbs were from all different times over the last 8 years.

The flourescent tubes in the kitchen looked old when I arrived here that long ago.

I also had some of those funny curly low watt things, some normal bulbs, and bulbs in free lamps, ceiling mounts and even one in a work shop hangy-down thing.

There was no common denominator.

Is Mystery...

Well you can always assume it was bad luck or something magical

Your house wasn't built on an ancient Indian burial ground, was it?

I think it was a burial ground for something...

I have no idea what...

But I think it wants out!

*grins*
Know what the diffrence between a pregnant lady and a lightbulb is?

You can unscrew a lightbulb....

*gives Lantis neg rep for bad joke*

*gives rodak lightbulbs*


EDIT: oops, sorry... that ^ looks like spam to me...

to be fair, though.. id be nervous about totally mysterious electrical shortages.

real nervous.

*has been neg repped*

But seriously, Rodak. That cannot be explained in any way logically. About the only way you can make sense out of it is if you believe in the supernatural. Let's just hope it's nothing worse than lightbulb brakage. I'd take that anyday over a cursed soul....


Oh! and....

*Pushes Draygone into one of Regal's deepest holes*

Rodak - thats absolutly amazing. I like what Regal said in the beginning - You're Magic.

Well duh, everyone knows Rodak is magic.

... n00b...

*can't talk*

*is a bigger one than most ppl*

*high-fives Lantis*

Yeah... this still bugs me.

But an electrician said there is no explanation and nothing wrong.

What can I do?

Just worry?

No thanks.

Back on topic:

How many people of Unspecified Ethnic Origin does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Two.

But I have no idea how they are going to get in there!

Peace.

Hey, maybe you should sprinkle holy water on your light socketts:

.............. yeah... water + electrical appliances = deep fried Rodak
