the white stuff clouding up the lamps explained

[trav whitmer]

A coworker asked what the current status of my ongoing replacement lamps saga is. I explained where I'm at, and why they suck, and that since 2003 they are made in China. He says "Hey, you know what the white crap floating in there is? It's SARS. 'We gotta get rid of this stuff somehow.. Let's put it in the lava lamps and ship it to the US..'"
