OK, Guys, one last contribution to the memory of Joseph Lucas.  You know, all
of these years we have had the electric light theory all wrong.  Joseph Lucas
was a true pioneer ahead of his time.

The Lucas Dark Sucker Theory
     
For years, it has been believed that electric bulbs emit light, but recent
Lucas research has proved otherwise. Electric bulbs don't emit light; they
suck dark. Thus, we call these bulbs Dark Suckers. The Dark Sucker Theory and
the existence of dark suckers prove that dark has mass and is heavier than
light.
     
First, the basis of the Dark Sucker Theory is that electric bulbs suck dark.
For example, take the Dark Sucker in the room you are in. There is much  less
dark right next to it than there is elsewhere. The larger the Dark Sucker, the
greater its capacity to suck dark. Dark Suckers in the parking lot have a much
greater capacity to suck dark than the ones in your office.
     
So with all things, Dark Suckers don't last forever. Once they are full of
dark, they can no longer suck. This is proven by the dark spot on a full Dark
Sucker.
     
A candle is a primitive Dark Sucker. A new candle has a white wick. You can
see that after the first use, the wick turns black, representing all the dark
that has been sucked into it. If you put a pencil next to the wick of an
operating candle, it will turn black. This is because it got in the way of the
dark flowing into the candle. One of the disadvantages of these primitive Dark
Suckers is their limited range.
     
There are also portable Dark Suckers. In these, the bulbs can't handle all the
dark by themselves and must be aided by a Dark Storage Unit. When the Dark
Storage Unit is full, it must be either emptied or replaced before the
portable Dark Sucker can operate again. Dark has mass. When dark goes into a
Dark Sucker, friction from the mass generates heat. Thus, it is not wise to
touch an operating Dark Sucker. Candles present a special problem as the mass
must travel into a solid wick instead of through clear glass. This generates a
great amount of heat and therefore it's not wise to touch an operating candle.
     
Also, dark is heavier than light. If you were to swim just below the surface
of the lake, you would see a lot of light. If you were to slowly swim deeper
and deeper, you would notice it getting darker and darker. When you get really
deep, you would be in total darkness. This is because the heavier dark sinks
to the bottom of the lake and the lighter light floats at the top. This is why
it is called light.
     
Finally, we must prove that dark is faster than light. If you were to stand in
a lit room in front of a closed, dark closet, and slowly opened the closet
door, you would see the light slowly enter the closet. But since dark is so
fast, you would not be able to see the dark leave the closet.
     
So the next time you see an electric bulb, remember that it is a Dark Sucker,
pioneered by Joseph Lucas.
