So that's how we defeat them

This reminds me. I really want to get that 1watt blue laser, I just need to justify spending $300 on it.

That's the danger of letting socialism spread to even your light systems.

If everyone was responsible for his own light, this wouldn't have happened, but because they were tied together into one system controlled by the government, they became susceptible to tampering.

It's like a metaphor for how socialism weakens a society and takes it back into the dark ages.

I just picked up a 405nm 150mW laser for some UV curing experiments. They have 300mW laser pointers on Amazon, that seems a bit dangerous.

streetlights not working is not a blackout.

THERE CAN BE ONLY NONE!

Genital crabs.

ZAZ: Is there only one streetlight in the whole town, or only one light sensor for the town's entire streetlight system?

And more importantly, how many babies will be born next August, nine months after the great blackout of 2010?

Apparently the sensors are networked in series so if one sensor detects strong enough light, it shuts them off. That's incredibly poor engineering, but I suppose this will prompt some engineering changes.

I can imagine my friends and I doing this in high school and laughing our asses off, though.

I used to have a friend from northern Sweden, she said that there were only 50 people in her village, I think that this is that type of place.



Everyone knows it was the Ludwigsson's son, that brat

I read that as fleshlight at first, and was confused and somewhat aroused.

This is the sort of violent anarchy which must be responded to with a resounding "meh..."

According to Wikipedia Brokind has a whopping 525 residents, sounds boring

skinink: How were they sure it was only a prank instead of a dry run?

Beat me to it.

Now that is irony.

/Weeners? Really?

I guess everybody HAD a little light under the sun.

President Madagascar!!

A streetlight is out in Sweden!

JRoo: President Madagascar!!

A streetlight is out in Sweden!

What you say?!?!?

We used to do this as teenagers cruising around in a Camaro with one of those 20 zillion candlepower spotlights that plugs into the cig lighter. But it only turned of at most one street at a time.

//Freezing Fable, Fella

Remember the very first scene in Harry Potter Book One where Dumbledore uses his streetlight Putter-Outter? I had a laugh at that as amateur astronomers have sometimes been known to use a small but bright handheld laser to trip the daylight sensors on streetlights to ensure a glare-free evening of telescopic observation.

Of course, this may be illegal. I would never do it. No sir, not me.

FirstNationalBastard: I'm just glad that I misread the headline, because "Fleshlight plunges Swedish Village into Darkness" is just wrong.

Your mother told you that sort of stuff would make you go blind...

"larger cities thus also susceptible to roguish sabotage of the nature which befell rural Brokind."

farking english majors.

Accidentally the whole village?

Fleshlight?

Flashlight????

oops, read that wrong.

Heh...

That's showing 3.15 Watts.

We have a 10 watt TiSaph pumping a Femotosecond laser in our lab. The TiSaph hurts like hell and the Femtosecond has enough energy density/unit time to make plasma out of most things. Good times!

Oh, funk me!

In a small midwest town, where I grew up, every once in a while the Jaycees would hold a ''Teen-Dance'' in the public park at the tennis courts. It was always one guys job to climb up the pole and put the fleshlight up there up on top of the pole so it would be dark for all the teenagers to have sex on the tennis court while some rock band played. They also sold cokes in a little cup with ice so you would have to bring your own alcohol to mix with it. These days kids are smoking the rock, putting a flashlight on their dick, and listening to street lights. So I don't think a kid did it; probably some middle age dude having a flashback.

November is a dark month in Sweden, with November 2009 offering up only 17.5 hours of sunlight in many parts of the country, an average of 35 minutes a day.

Seriously?
No SERIOUSLY?!?

Gee, an average of 7 HOURS OF SUNLIGHT A DAY IN NOVEMBER 2010 in Sweden.

Yes, because ALL OF SWEDEN, including this village, which is in the northern part of Sweden, is in Stockholm. Dumbass.
