@observer - Yeah, the worms will really appreciate your gesture. A lot more than some person at death's door.

He says a 1% savings is about $4 a year. I envy him his electricity bill. Around here, that's about one month.

FYI, if you hate accidentally hitting the capslock key, you can do an easy hack to turn it off. Just Google 'disable caps lock'.

Years ago I went to a Reveen show where he used Moonlight Sonata to help hypnotize folks. It still makes me drowsy!
