For all lightbulb fans: Read "Gravity's Rainbow" by Thomas Pynchon. In
one little episode he mentions the perfect lightbulb (only one of it
exists, all the others that were produced along with it aren't). It is
for some reason built so perfectly it never burns out, and no-one
notices it.

to change a light bulb?
Well? how many forum members does it takes to change a light
bulb?
1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has
been changed 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how
the light bulb could have been changed differently 7 to caution about the
dangers of changing light bulbs 1 to move it to the Lighting section 2 to
argue then move it to the Electricals section 7 to point out spelling/grammar
errors in posts about changing light bulbs 5 to flame the spell checkers 3
to correct spelling/grammar flames 6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb"
or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid 2 industry
professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp" 15
know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is
perfectly correct 19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to
please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum 11 to defend the posting to
this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are
relevant to this forum 36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is
superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best
for this technique and what brands are faulty 7 to post URL's where one can
see examples of different light bulbs 4 to post that the URL's were posted
incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's 3 to post about links they
found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs
relevant to this group 13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their
entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too" 5 to post to
the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light
bulb controversy 4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time
ago?" 13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions
about light bulbs" 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months
from now and start it all over again.
Ok I didn't post before Velvetclown.. still it was 8 days before this post
There must be something about clown related users posting this joke

How many forum members does it take to confirm that Lightbulb Sun by Porcupine Tree is great?
