... Sheds some light on the floor.
That already had me cracking up.
But the reaction to the failure was the funniest thing...
Then again, watching a lightbulb bounce is definitely a surprise.

A sphere is one of the strongest shapes you can have. There's a reason they are shaped like that.
Actually I think that a light bulb (brand new out of the box) will pretty much always do that. If the lightbulb is new and has no scratches or imperfections you can get it to bounce back once. If it has been dropped once though the tiny scratches that are created from the first drop make it shatter the next time it has an impact.
A neat party trick that I heard once is take a new lightbulb and bet that you could toss it against a brick wall and then catch it without breaking. When the next person tries it, it should shatter on the second throw.

Well first, brave teams of hunters and explorers are sent to the north pole where the enter the hollow earth through an entrance cunningly concealed by Santa Claus (who, incidentally, is simply a fence for the various thieves guilds operating inside the planet). Once inside the track down the presumed mythical pixie dragons. Once the hunters manage to capture one, the team's resident spirit binder strips the pixie dragon of it's essence and traps it in a tiny bar of tungsten. This bar is spirited to the surface where it is divided into many smaller pieces and enclosed in a glass that so the spirit is unable to escape (it is common knowledge that bound spirits cannot possibly cross a plane of glass).Zakarath said:
When an electrical current is applied, the pixie dragon's spirit is angered causing it to glow as per it's natural response to such stimulus.
Logically then the natural visual sightings of the pixie dragon would be in a cloud of smoke, which is the escape signal, allowing the pixie dragon to get away, meaning you need a new bulb.Eclectic Dreck said:
This is very similar to the nixie dragon, which powers your computer. The two are not identical however.
