Well Waddaya Know XXIX

Last week's question and answer:
Your brain uses about as much energy as:

a refrigerator light
11 (29%)
a laptop computer
10 (27%)
an idling car
9 (24%)
a car moving down a freeway
7 (18%)

Votes so far: 37
I finally got another one right! I always thought that was quite the testament to the amazing abilities of our brains. Meanwhile, this week's question is up to the right.

  1. I don't really think about how much energy is used by a refrigerator light. We keep the bulb out so that we don't have to remember to do so just before Shabbos. When we replaced our refrigerator and first plugged it in, my youngest remarked in surprise on the light going on.

  2. We're weirder - we keep the light in, but tape on the button... and forget to take it off during the week.
