Hmmm, Curiouser & curiouser, isn't it? D'ya spose they were making the old light fixtures out of ground up fishies? Was the electrician who installed them eating "fish & chips" or sardines at the time? Or did he just use fish oil to lubricate them all?
   I was munching some prepackaged snack mix this evening which tasted oddly of fish! Perhaps the electrician moonlights at the snackmix factory?
