Did you know that?

The world's longest-lasting lightbulb has been burning continuously since 1901.

Centennial Light.

They found it not burning in 2013 and thought it finally expired, but it was actually its power supply failing. The lightbulb outlived its wiring.

And if it made you want to know why your brand new lightbulbs burn out in months while this one lasted a century, look up "Phoebus" - the cartel of lighting manufacturers like Philips and GE who purposefully decided in 1924 to limit the lightbulb lifespan to 1000 hours in order to increase sales. That is not a conspiracy theory but a very real historical event.

Kinda like how soap companies convinced everyone into taking daily baths. The sad thing is, even knowing that it is scientifically not necessary, one can't help but take a shower every day >.> And then they're buttwipes, the greatest toilet joke ever told.

Next time you watch the first three episodes of "Sharpe" - "Sharpe's Rifles", "Sharpe's Eagle", and "Sharpe's Company" - notice that Sean Bean doesn't fasten his Rifleman's green jacket all the way up.

This is because the jacket was made to fit Paul McGann, who was originally cast as Richard Sharpe.

Filming was underway on "Sharpe's Rifles", bur McGann broke his leg while playing football between takes. Production was shut down for a year, and the past was recast with Sean Bean.
