======================================
For years it was believed that electric bulbs emitted light. However,
recent information has proven otherwise. Electric bulbs do not emit
light, they suck dark. Thus we will now call these bulbs dark suckers.
The dark sucker theory, according to a spokesperson, proves the existence
of dark, that dark has a mass heavier than light, and that dark is faster
than light.
The basis of the dark sucker theory is that electric bulbs suck dark.
Take for example the dark suckers in the room where you are. There is
less dark right next to them than it is elsewhere. The larger the
dark sucker, the greater its capacity to suck dark. Dark suckers in a
parking lot have a much greater capacity than the ones in this room.
As with all things dark suckers don't last forever. Once they are
full of dark they can no longer suck. This is proven by the black
spot on a full dark sucker.
A candle is a primitive dark sucker. A new candle has a white wick.
You will notice that after the first use, the wick turns black,
representing all the dark which has been sucked into it. If you hold
a pencil next to the wick of an operating candle, the tip will turn
black because it got in the way of the dark flowing into the candle.
Unfortunately, today's primitive dark suckers have a very limited range.
There are also portable dark suckers. These bulbs can't handle all of
the dark themselves, and must be aided by a dark storage unit. When
the dark storage unit is full, it must be either emptied or replaced
before the portable dark sucker can operate again.
Dark has mass. When dark goes into a dark sucker, friction from this
mass generates heat. Thus it is not wise to touch an operating dark
sucker. Candles present a special problem, as the dark must travel in
the solid wick instead of through glass. This generates a great
amount of heat. Thus it can be very dangerous to touch an operating
candle.
Dark is also heavier than light. If you swim deeper and deeper, you
notice it gets slowly darker and darker. When you reach approximately
fifty feet, you are in total darkness. This is because the heavier
dark sinks to the bottom of the lake and the lighter light floats to
the top.
The immense power of the dark can be utilized to man's advantage. We
can collect the dark that has settled to the bottom of lakes and push
it through turbines which generates electricity and helps push dark to
the ocean, where it may be safely stored. Prior to turbines, it was
much more difficult to get dark from rivers and lakes to the ocean.
The Indians recognized this problem and tried to solve it. When on a
river in a canoe traveling in the same direction as the flow of dark,
they paddled slowly, so as not to stop the flow of dark, but when
they traveled against the flow of dark, they paddled quickly so as to
help the dark along its way.
Finally we must prove that dark is faster than light. If you were to
stand in an illuminated room in front of a closed, dark closet, then
slowly open the closet door, you would see the light slowly enter the
closet, but since dark is so fast, you would not be able to see the
dark leave the closet.
In conclusion, it has been stated that dark suckers make our lives much
easier, so the next time you look at an electric bulb, remember that
it is indeed a dark sucker.
