World's Oldest Light Bulb Still Burning After 110 Years
It is a shame that I have to go out and buy a bulb every year or two and this one was made to last for 110 years or more.
Here is the web cam of the bulb:

A light bulb hanging in the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department has been burning steadily for exactly 110 years, according the Centennial Bulb website. Since the "Centennial Bulb" was first turned on, the stock market crashed and was reborn, the nuclear age began, two World Wars were fought, cars and planes were developed … and through it all the bulb kept burning.
