Lighthouse keepers were left in shock following the discovery that lighthouses are not at all light.

The keeper that we managed to contact told us: "I've worked this lighthouse for over 300 years, as did my dad before me and his dad before that and none of us ever had the slightest suspiscion."

Doubts on how light lighthouses actually are were first raised less than 10 minutes ago when an official guide was asked. He told us "I don't think they call them lighthouses because they are not heavy".

Obvioulsly shocked by this blatant dismissal of the facts, we thought the full story should be represented on a quality news web site.
