None. The darkness will cause the light bulb to change by itself.

Put a latch on the door so Momma don't know I'm downloading porn with Davo.

Given Caliban's
benevolence at that point, I have to think that whatever the contact was must
have been "innocent." As I see it, it's Prospero's interest in his daughter's
virginity that converts Caliban's physical language of love into plain old
English "rape."

This mystery is of particular interest to me, because when I was much younger, my parents actually had a copy of one of these paintings in our house, hanging half way up the stairs on the wall. Here's the story about the painting and it's numerous prints:

From around 1985 onwards, a series of mysterious house fires were brought to the attention of the general public, following the discovery that in each case, the buildings and all their contents were completely destroyed apart from a painting - the "Crying Boy", which remained unscathed. In the years that followed, some 40-50 cases were recorded in which a house fire had destroyed everything except for the picture. It became known as the "Curse of the Crying Boy", and even made headline news at one point. The picture itself was a portrait painted by a Spanish artist of an orphan. It is said that his studio burnt to the ground, and the boy was later killed in a car crash. The picture is one of the first to be mass produced in the UK, there are several thousand of them in circulation, but the curse still appears to apply to all the copies. It is said that the curse will only effect someone if the owner of the painting becomes aware of it. Some psychics have claimed that the painting is Haunted by the spirit of the boy it depicts.

We must have had that painting in our house for 15+ years, and although it never set fire to anything, I never used to like it. It's not a particularly pleasant picture in any case, and it always used to give me the creeps. Fortunately it's long gone, but I can't help wondering who's got it now. One thing's for certain, there's no way I'd ever put that picture up in my house again."

So Madonna pulls her anti-war video at the last minute, "never to be seen again". Have to say, it sounds just as finely-wrought a piece of art as G.Micheal's Shoot the Dog
