A big 75 on it? #1 (permalink) Mon Dec 01, 2008 22:11 pm   A big 75 on it?
 

Hi,

What exactly is 'a big 75'? In the Beemovie the main character bee gets trapped in an apartment room when it starts to rain. He suddenly sees a lamp on the ceiling and thinks that's the sun. He says '.... I don't remember the sung having a big 75 on it...'

So what is a 75?

Thanks,
Torsten

Yes, definitely a 75 watt bulb.

Torsten, you're really getting into the cartoons lately! Don't get addicted to them, like I am. :-D

I don't play favorites. I like everything from Popeye cartoons from the 1930s, through Woody Woodpecker from the 1940s, up through Dexter's Laboratory in the 1990s, all the way to Pixar creations today.
