I needed a flashlight today. I always forget that in our tool box we have a flashlight, but today I didn't forget because we left our tool box out last night after putting together our bookshelf. So I got the flashlight and went to use it. Of course, the batteries were dying (although, surprisingly, they weren't dead yet [I'll avoid the Monty Python quote...]). Since I need to go to the hardware store today anyways, I decided to check the batteries to see what size I'll need to buy. I found out that they were size "C" and noticed a strange sticker on the side of one of the copper tops:



Notice that TMC Bookstore price sticker? Wow! That's one old battery! And it's not completely dead yet! You know what they say: "You can't top the copper top!"
