Well, look who just waddled into the spacious and inviting lobby of the Axis of Weevil World Headquarters than our old friend and boon companion, Dr. Possum!
As per usual, he has graciously deigned (I before E, except after C. And sometimes D.) to answer questions from YOU, the most inquisitive readership in all of the Blogiverse. Those who are new to Dr. Possum's tremendous braininess might wonder why he, of all people (or marsupials) is more qualified than anyone else to answer questions. Dr. Possum (although by all rights he should thrash you for your impudence) kindly notes that he is the world's leading expert on every topic, real or imagined, including such subjects of math, literature, shopping carts, nucular physics, medicine, and women's foundation garments.
SO FEAR NOT--ask anything you wish in the comments below, and Dr. Possum* will see to it that you are given an expeditious and satisfying answer!*
*Dr. Possum is a real doctor, although Dr. Possum himself is fictional.
**No warranty is expressed or implied that Dr. Possum's answers will be expeditious and satisfying.

Posted by: steevil (Dr Weevil's bro Steve) at July 24, 2007 01:30 PMDr. Possum assumes this is intended as a question, and answers in the affirmative, and further wishes to opine that the "I before E" rule is goofy and would like to replace any word that has an "ie" or "ei" in it with an equal sign "=", so that feign, deign, reign, and zeign can be spelt as f=gn, d=gn, r=gn, and z=gn, and further, that we would have things such as p=ce and conc=ve.

Posted by: Janis Gore at July 24, 2007 01:57 PMDr. Possum assumes this is intended as a question, and recommends his new book, Dr. Possum's New Unabridged and Unbridled Dictionary of the English Language, available at better booksellers everywhere.

Posted by: Janis Gore at July 24, 2007 03:09 PMMaybe.
Posted by: Janis Gore at July 24, 2007 03:23 PMOr you could do what we did in school and put a sheet of tracing paper over the bulb.

Posted by: Janis Gore at July 24, 2007 03:32 PMWell, yes, there is that, but Dr. Possum didn't want to come across as unsympathetic.
Posted by: Dr. Possum at July 24, 2007 03:35 PMSo, all you lightbulb-lined stockholders out there, give me a 13-watt R30 CFL, or I'll just turn the ******* off.
