A light bulb hanging in the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department has been burning steadily for exactly 110 years, according the Centennial Bulb website. Since the "Centennial Bulb" was first turned on, the stock market crashed and was reborn, the nuclear age began, two World Wars were fought, cars and planes were developed … and through it all the bulb kept burning.

Forget that....how can they prove that it was on all this time? No one ever flipped the switch or asked for it to be turned off? Building never had a power outage in 110 years?...I can understand a bulb lasting for many years if it doesn't stay on all the time.

Cuz nothing nowadays is made to last. If you don't need to buy the same stuff all over and over again every once in a while, these ppl ain't getting money. It's all about bad quality these days.
