    Flourescent lamps? -- Never heard of those.
    Or fluorescent? -- Seems more of a party trick.
    Or halogen lamps? -- Those usually contain Chlorine. Normal lamps contain nitrogen gas by the way, so you wouldn't want to inhale that either.

    The air is 70% nitrogen. Its harmless.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Eh, no it isn't. The fact that air is a mixture of 20% oxygen with other gases that do not react nearly as readily as the oxygen is what makes the 70% nitrogen in it “harmless” (provided that you can breathe it out).

    Either way in quantities contained in a lamp neither is very likely to have long lasting ill effects on you. The whole point: halogen lamps are every bit as safe as ordinary lamps.

    For someone my age, I have a very diverse job experience. I grew up on a farm, and I've worked as a sysadmin, produced lamps, produced mattresses on an assembly line, installed electronics in cars, unloaded ships at the docks, delivered kitchens to building sites, cleaned building sites, packaged modems, sold bed-linens and worked at a gas station and a supermarket. I was also conscripted for a year.... I think that covers most of it. Now, I still work at a supermarket in addition to studying to be a teacher as well as working as one. And still, Frags refers to me as part of the "elite", those who have no contact with "ordinary people"....



    Now please don't ruin it for me by asking me how long I stayed at those various jobs.....

    Well, you've grouped me with "people who live in 100% white neighborhoods" and such before, I thought that was a code-word for "elite"....
