Pop goes the (LED) light bulb
Spar sells a LED light bulb: it’s nice, until it pops – and that doesn’t take long. It fairly bright, it uses 7W of power, it has the bayonet style connection. There’s a problem though: it doesn’t last. It popped … Continue reading

The corrupted gospel of the NIV, 1984 and 2011
These editions, labelled “Holy Bible” claim to be translated from the original texts, and all that, but they are actually based on the corrupt Greek texts dug out of the trash and invented out of thin air since the 1800’s. … Continue reading
