Here's somthing I came across while randomly surfing the net:
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.

Aside from that being funny all around, how fitting it this one around here...

Zens,
That one stuck out in my mind the most too as being very fitting to this forum.

Nope.
I assumed you were trying to fit into one of the categories of the original post, so I was playing along.

This is stupid, I used to be amessage board moderator and as anyone who has done that job can tell you, the number of know-it-alls who claim to have worked in the industry would be at least twice that. Get your facts straight.

As someone who has worked in the industry, didn't we go through this already a short time ago?

This whole thread is meaningless as you are refering to the old standard of incandescent bulbs
Whereas anyone who knows their lightbulbs know that the new energy saving lightbulbs are the only ones accepted by those in the know

Actaully lamps are the tubes you put in flourescent fixtures, bulbs are the Edison base variuous wattage types you usually have in your house.

I prefer the pink tinted bulbs for my home. The provide a softer glow.
I also am a big fan of red bulbs...for when you are having one of those nice ahem...quiet...nights at home with someone else.

Using light bulbs is murder, 20 gazillion filipino slaves are forced to make bulbs each day for pennies to pay their way through medical school. Buy amish candles instead,these are hand crafted by gods hard workers and use zero electricity.
Elextricity is the devils tool.

Hi. I just thought I'd drop by and make a single post on the new account I've just created to let all of you lighting aficianados know about a website me and my friends have developed.
http://www.bulbs.com/
I think it will be of great value to all of you in your pursuit of all things bulby. Thanks for looking!

You spammer!!!!
I read that one could use a potato to remove a broken bulb to avoid getting cut or shocked.

This thread is supposed to be about light bulbs and not potatoes. If you wanna talk about potatoes, you need to start a potato thread.

But she was talking about potatoes in a way that pertains to lightbulbs so it is relevant and belongs here. :p

But her emphasis was on potatoes, so she should have created a new thread. If she would have started it like....
I read that one could remove a broken bulb with a potato....
Then the emphasis would have been on the bulb and it then it would have belonged. :rolleyes:

I once posted in a chat-room that I had somehow had sex with a potato. It turned on some light bulbs for several horney chatters.
