Do you have one ? Did you have one ?
The Lava Lamp History
It was invented by British accountant Edward Craven Walker in 1963.
Do you have one ? Did you have one ?
What music would you be playing as you sit and watch these lamps.
I'm curious to know what you would be listening to now or back when these were popular ?
Here is my trio of lamps
The one in the middle I got for Christmas

Re: Do you have one ? Did you have one ?
I had the large size thick glass lava lamp busted over the side of my head. It didn't hurt much for I was almost unconscious. Was laying in what looked like vegetable oil and red hot candle wax mixed with lots of blood and glass. And hearing my toddler daughter screeming. I was then awaken by squeeky sounds. I was on a operating table with a surgion sewing my ear and torn cartilage back onto my head. I'm Soooo thankful that it was me that the lava lamp smashed onto. I always kept the lava lamp on top of a tall dresser shelf. I had been on the floor with my toddler daughter play wresling. Somehow my foot caught the lamps cord and down came the lamp onto the side of my head. PRAISE GOD, It didn't fall on my daughter. No more lava lamps for me. Squirrel Crusher

I always think of Ravi Shankar and the aroma of patchouli oil when I see a Lava Light :

I think it was on 
Wow...That must have been scary as hell for you and your daughter
I imagine that is something your daughter can still remember.
My lamps are on a stereo speaker in the family room and the cords are secure behind the speaker...I just went and looked again
I can understand why you don't have lava lamps anymore.

Unfortunately,Yes it was on and skin blistering hot. I never turned it off except for changing out a burnt out bulb. Whenever I see one,I stop to watch it for awhile then pass on by. Squirrel Crusher
