Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 17, 2015

So when is Dresden going to change the light (the whole unit, not the bulb)?

WOW, that is one long lasting bulb!!!

And there’s even a webcam on that bulb: Livermore CA Centennial Light

More on the Dresden light: RIght turn on red is allowed. The light’s yearly maintenance includes replacing the green and yellow bulbs, though they have never been used. The traffic regulations do not allow for the placement of a stop sign there. I just read this on:

The company that made the fire house bulb closed, no repeat customers.

There was a bulb in a movie theater in Ft. Worth, TX that had burned for about a 100 yrs.In 1952 my Aunt and Uncle bought a house and my Uncle installed a yellow bug light on the front porch. When I tore the house down in 2000, the bulb was still in use.

I have heard (or read) that the main reason light bulbs burn out is because of being repeatedly turned off and on. (But think what it would do to your light bill if you never turned a light off!?)

I’ve heard that the bulb is only about 11 watts, so really it’s not using much electricity!

Most red stop signs never turn green either.

Red light in Dresden? Maybe it’s advertising the type of business that works in that neighborhood !!

Ok where can I train to be a professional cheese smeller???

Personally, I refuse to believe that Yoshindo Yoshiwara was anywhere Close to 4 Billion years old when he made that sword..4 Million at the Most.

Go to Connecticut. The red left turn lights are on all the time, even when the green arrow is on.
