What exactly do you mean?

Well, if we’re just little ole jellyfishies it would take a village; the entire community, I imagine.

Or just Mirzah. @Klaas4:The lightbulb question is the opening of dozens of bad ( and I mean really bad) jokes. For example, how many psychiatrists does it take to change (the common verb for this joke) a light bulb? Answer; just one, but the bulb really has to want to change. Does this translate to Dutch or the behavior of Dutch psychiatrists? :-)

Well if you consider that the average response to a good question, usually has about 3 answers within a couple hours. After 24 hours there might be 10–15 responses. Therefore if you don’t need the light bulb changed asap, you will get a couple people who change it, then a couple people who replace the light bulb with a CFL (to help save the environment). Then invariably you will have someone comment on how the person changed the light bulb, and bring up a new question. By the end of the day, the light bulb will have been changed, your floor mopped, and you will have a cake outside your door.

:D

MIrza: sorry. I get really holier-than-thou about language and then put my own foot in it, to mix a metaphor. Ah, well.

I don’t understand, but never mind…

Answer: None. Apparently, from the answers to some of the threads, many flutherians will screw anywhere BUT in a lightbulb. And I mean that in the nicest way.

answer to original Q: Fluthers are not small enough to perform any activity inside a light-bulb, much less one so energetic.

i once had 100K of light-bulb jokes stored, but they evaporated during an alleged computer upgrade.

Q: How many MicroSoft Marketing Staffers does it take to change a light-bulb?
A: Zero—they just declare darkness to be the new standard.
