@crenquis: Yeah, I go down on chicks. I quite enjoy it.

@HonusWScruggs:

Agreed.

And it's not just the fact that it can't possibly putting out 60 watt equivalent in an 8 gram package...

It's the fact that there's no way you could get 40 hours of battery life powering out basically 6 watts...

A full size laptop battery might be able to do that...

8 grams, huh? That's great, right? I mean, that's 1/4 ounce? 1/4 pound? 1/4 ton?

Just wondering how much my glasses will be falling of my face! Thanks.

@GitEmSteveDave_WonAForeignLottery!:
I like the cut of your jib.

@Nanan00: You could get a sweat band and attach it to that or just glue it to your head

@zenneth: It looks like a dictionary people don't read the Bible.

@Hello Mister Walrus: Yeah, fuck those disco vampires. They sparkle in the sun. Even their winkies twinkle. Look!

@sqeakytoy of the apocalypse: Then they would be 6 or 7 and you would be going to jail.

@Hello Mister Walrus: but now what if they had said "Dr. Seuss?"

@IN THE FACE!: I've had a similar one, which featured the comment, "Do you want to read my story/poems/fan fiction?" And ended the same.

@Hello Mister Walrus: I've had that exact conversation several times...

"I find intelligent women highly attractive. What are you reading?"

"Twilight."

"FUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuck....!!!"

Hello Mister Walrus

I always look that excited when reading from the dictionary.

It's from Germany. You know the Germans make good stuff.

@Jack of all Tirades R.O.A.C.H.: Raining on the parades of both answers: it appears she is reading the Bible. Not the kama-sutra, or the webster's sutra.

@Bandit: Agreed that that must be it. Anyway, if the Germans were actually capable of mass producing single LEDs with a total output equal to a 60 watt bulb, we'd be cheaply installing them into bulkier housings and replacing all our 60 watt bulbs with them.

Soon, but not quite yet.

@Jack of all Tirades R.O.A.C.H.: I think she's looking up dirty words in the dictionary.

@mdoublej: ..... then you dont use these. And HEY what the hell where are you glasses nerd. get out of here you fake nerd you!

I wonder if I can couple this with a piece of tech I sometimes also use in the bedroom....

Gimme a petzl any day. No glasses required.

@TheCyberKnight: They probably mean it's as bright on the page as a 60-watt bulb. A real bulb is emiting light in all directions, this light beams straight down to the page.

WHAT is that chick reading? Lady Chatterly's Lover? Chick's with glasses are hot. Which makes her hot. It just moved a little.

Damn, I had lasik 6 months ago, guess I should of kept my glasses!

Nanan00

The first time I have to flash someone with my highbeams because they have to turn their glasses down will likely be the first time I run someone over.... on purpose at least.

I'll take two!!

what if you don't wear glasses?
