Lightbulb Thread
I know I've posted this before, but it deserves an encore, don't you think?
Question: How many message board members does it take to change a lightbulb?
Answer: 422.
1 to change the lightbulb and post to the board that the bulb has been changed.
4 to respond and share similar experiences.
7 to caution about the dangers of changing lightbulbs.
27 to point out spelling errors and grammatical errors in postings about changing lightbulbs.
53 to flame the spell-checkers.
156 to write to the administrator to complain about the lightbulb discussion and its inappropriateness to the board.
111 to defend the relevance of the lightbulb discussion.
27 to post website addresses where one can see different examples of lightbulbs.
14 to complain that the website addresses are incorrect and post correct ones.
12 to "leave the board forever" because they can't handle the Lightbulb Controversy.</
All in good fun folks.
No one is being singled out by this.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. -Douglas Adams

Then why don't you go and buy a bunch of the energy saver light bulb environmental boy... :P I have a few of them.... expensive, but they last longer than the cheep ones I usedta buy... and they produce a lot less heat and a warmer light

If you don't like the waste of energy, do what I do. Don't buy standard light bulbs. Get these instead.
