Object: OT: a little newsgroup humor
Saw this on another newsgroup and thought it might bring a smile:
Question: How many subscribers to a newsgroup does it take to change a light
bulb?
Answers:
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
27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
41 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...
Another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
27 to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs
12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot
handle the light bulb controversy
4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ
44 to ask what is a "FAQ"
2 to post reasons why the light bulb burning out is the result of a
government conspiracy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
43 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs"
1 lurker to respond to the original post 6 months later and start the whole
thing all over again!!!!!!

and last but not least, 3 people to post that it's Bush's fault the
lightbulb blew out in the first place!
heheh. Either I've not seen that one before, or it was a *long* time
ago. Thanks for the chuckle!
