Anyone with experience in this painful endeavor?

My roommate smells like death, does anyone know a good fix?

My roommate smells utterly horrible. He showers daily, wears body spray, and washes his clothes, but he still stinks. I douse his side of the room with febreeze wheneever he leaves, but it still smells musty and disgusting. Moving out is not an option, although murder might be if I have to live with it much longer.

What's the name of the type of light-bulb that plugs in a socket rather than the regular screw in type?

Hello,
We have an external light for lighting up our porch. The cover is roughly 9"X4"X4" that 4 screws hold in place. When the light burned out, I found that the type of light-bulb it uses is the type that plugs in. The bulb in question has 2 little prongs about 1/4" long at roughly at the 2 & 8 o'clock positions.

What type of light-bulb is it?

Thanks.
