A Problem With My Lamp

You are standing in front of a room with one light bulb inside of it. You cannot see if it is on or off. Outside the room there are 3 switches in the off positions. You may turn the switches any way you want to. You stop turning the switches, enter the room and know which switch controls the light bulb. How?

Okay, I do actually have a real problem with the lamp in my living room: I don't have one. It's very dark in here.

Random Fact of the Day #1

Let's get this party started - The First Riddle

With potent, flowery words speak I,

Of something common, vulgar, dry;
I weave webs of pedantic prose,
In effort to befuddle those,
Who think I wile time away,
In lofty things, above all day
The common kind that linger where
Monadic beings live and fare;
Practical I may not be,
But life, it seems, is full of me!
