there are four lights

the only way to end a heated debate when one person continues to repeat a lie in the hopes that the other person will believe it is true.

comes from the ST:TNG episode where Capt. Picard is captured by the Cardassians and subjected to physical and psychological torture to make him believe there are five lights instead of four in the interrogation room.

Fuzzy Blue Lights

"If I could look across the country from California to New Jersey, then I would count the parks and lake resorts and number all the jets and airports. All those rather dreary rain clouds still bother me cause I look through the camera eye piece and cannot see. If I could open up my window and see from Tampa Bay to Juneau. Then I would survey all those open miles and line them up in single file. Everywhere I look I see green scenic sublime, and all those oceanic vistas are so divine. If I was standing on the balcony, and you were walking down below. I'd feel rather depressed and out of place, and lonely just to watch you go. If you were swinging from the highway overpass within the western hemisphere. I'd feel rather afraid and insecere if you began to disappear. If I was walking through a sad art gallery, and you were driving through the night. I'd feel rather alone and ill at ease beneath the brialliant showroom light. If I was flying on a plane above your town, and you were gazing at the sky. Somehow I'd feel intact and reassured if you began to wave goodbye." ~~Fuzzy Blue Lights-Owl City.

christmas tree lights

Small, bright, white or multicolored lights on long strands for the purpose of decorating Christmas trees, houses, and plants during the Holiday season.

While they are usually used to decorate Christmas trees, they can be used year-round to decorate back porches, shrubbery, or college dorm rooms.
"Those Christmas tree lights really brighten up your 12'x15' concrete block room"
