WHEW! Thanks for the scientific explanation! There was this one streetlight that ALWAYS would go out as I drove by on the way home from my gf's house. It really got to me after a while. I figured there was some explanation for it, but it was only the one light! Of course it was at the apex of a curve in the road and I drove straight toward it, so this explanation above makes tons of sense.
What a relief. Plus, I can sound semi-smart whenever someone else mentions the same thing. Always a plus.

As far as being a 'shocker' is concerned...would that explain why the lightbulbs in my house never last as long as they should, and we seem to have more than the average number of problems with electrical appliances?
