If her acting is dearer And her last name is Shearer, That's a Moira. When you're swimming near Venice And the ocean's a menace That a mare When the horse goes up and down And the last name's "Go-Round" That's a Merry When your friend looks at Othello And says just what is that fellow, That's a Moor, eh When you sing Do, Do, Do, 'Cause that's as high as you can go, You need more Re.

Hot-burning "halogen bulbs" can last two or three times longer than regular bulbs because they are filled with chemically active halogen gases that preserve the filament. The filament of an ordinary light bulb burns out because atoms of tungsten evaporate from its surface, so that it becomes thinner and thinner until it breaks. The evaporated tungsten is deposited on the inside surface of the bulb, where it forms a dark deposit. The gas inside a halogen bulb combines with the tungsten atoms that condense on the glass, removing the deposit. When the combined molecules touch the hot filament, the tungsten is redeposited there, and the gas is released to do the same trick again. Halogen bulbs don't last forever, though. Although the filament does not evaporate as fast, it does eventually develop thin spots, and the bulb burns out.
