I've just built a simple power-line operated LED, and it's been lit for a day now:
**broken link removed**
I built this as a challenge to all the nay-sayers here who claim this can't be done, that it violates all the laws of electronics, even physics, etc., etc. I'm going to see how long it'll remain illuminated, and will report back here periodically.
The circuit is safely enclosed in a clear plastic (thick polystyrene) case.
