I was reading Elliot one of his library books (an Elephant & Piggie story), when I came across this picture.
I chuckled at Piggie getting an idea with a compact-fluorescent bulb. Then I realized there wasn't anything funny about it. That's what lightbulbs look like.
In fact, I'm not sure Elliot has ever seen an incandescent bulb in real life. When I asked him if the bulb in the story looked funny, he studied it for a while and said no.

I totally support greener energy, but I will miss the incandescent light bulb. It's such a cool design and shape. I lived in Germany for a year where they were called "elektrische Bienen" (electric pears). I can't even imagine what they will call them now.
Check out this LED lightbulb -- the future has FINS!
And it's the right shape.
