    The utility provider is responsible and will have to absorb the loss if they didn’t do a service disconnect after the first century. Look at local graveyards. Who know or cares about anybody that’s been dead over 100 years.

    Must be a CFL, those never seem to burn out. I’ve been using the same one in my table lamp for the last six years.

    LEDs, they were LEDs, so the bill is about 12 cents or so.

    ZaphodBblbrxNo. It’s clearly a pulse arc in salt water. That’s why the bulb is open at the bottom. The teeth of the serpent, which is shorthand for current flow, are the diode and electrode of a DC circuit that functions with a square wave of roughly 3.6 MHz, a frequency at which salt water will burn when exposed to an ignition source.Or so I’ve heard…
