Kathleen in VA Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 :lol: What does it say in the bible about getting your panties in a wad and light bulbs, anyway? Well it has tons to say about not getting your panties in a wad, although that phrase may not actually be found word-for-word. I'm not familiar with all the newer translations, though, so you never know.;) About lightbulbs? Not so much. There are several verses about lamps, but I'm pretty sure they don't count since they aren't electric lamps. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
