LOL nice. The funny part is that I witnessed this about six times already in the Cafe in one month.

[Pupmon 4.0]

Marvelous work,spd.:) I give this thread five stars,or should I say five light bulbs.

[sdp]

I didn't write it, but i can't link a "original" source and i wasn't going to give credit to someone who copied/pasted it.

but it is humorous so i posted it.

OMG you guys, light bulbs are not cartoons. Take it to a flipping light bulb forum and learn to use Google. I liked this better when it was done in 1999. You owe me thirty seconds of my life back. Also, all your light bulb are belong to me.

:p

To be on topic, this lovely little thread is sadly true. Especially the correct/incorrect URL thing. Ahh, the little things that eat your life away* This would never have happened to Einstein, you know...

[Mittenz]

The answer is zero.

We don't change light bulbs coz we like being in the dark...

[solarflere]

Here is one that is almost relevant, how many Microsoft engineers does it take to change a light bulb? None, they declared darkness a standard.
How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb? 1 but only if the light bulb is willing to change.
OK, I'll shut up now. :sweat:

[Raeofdarkness]

How many forum Members does it take to figure out this thread?

[Shnay]

Very funny list, made funnier by the fact that my first reaction to the initial question was "Doesn't this belong on the Fun and Games board?"

[HumanoidTyphoon]

I've often wondered "How many lightbulbs does it take to screw in a lightbulb?":confused:

[purplehairedwonder]

That was excellent, and sadly enough, quite true.

How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb? 1 but only if the light bulb is willing to change.That's awesome:p

Oh, and Brainatra, that was disturbing:p.

I know this isn't technically DCAU related, and because of that, i wouldn't be surprised if it gets moved. That said, i really hope the mods don't move it, because i think everyone in this forum specifically would get a kick out of this.

This reminds me of this old fashioned limerick about how many people were going to St. Ives..(just 1 .. Me) but then someone one time asked the proverbial question (how many people were going the opposite way.. and in fact it turned out to be something like 3,000+ People going the other way!)

so then what does this have to do with the price of Tea in China?

or for that matter, what is the Average Air Speed of a Coconut Laden Swallow (African or European), and if there is a head wind or a tail wind on creature as he (or she) is carrying the coconut.

so tell me .. How many people did Change out the light bulb? Rhetorically speaking of course. :p

:coyote:

Or for those of you still scratching your heads after this post.. the point is moot.:p

Nuff said.
