Funny Forum Facts

Copied and pasted from another forum...

How many forum members does it take 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.

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 light bulb 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.

5 People to post pics of their own light bulbs.

15 People to post "I can't see S$%^!" and their own light bulbs.

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.

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 search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

1 moderator to lock the light bulb thread.

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

so now we should be able to find out how many times someone has seen this, how often it has been posted and with what different topics were used.
Not sure what catagory this puts me in.

not to mention, several posts of the same topic, a few threads away from each other, due to a lack of search, and then several smatterings of posts of how this thread is useless without pics, and then the smiley version of same pics reference, , throw in a few, you can't spell, and a link to a spell checker..... add in a midway rant about the political incorrectness of using incandescent lamps, in a greenhouse effect concious world. thus getting said thread closed and a reference to the all politics forum..........

"6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb""

Actually 7 because it's neither. It's a light bub.

But the more I think about it, it's really 8, because there's always someone talking about the light bub just to see concrete poured in the bed to lower the back.

You didn't even mention the discussion about why we need a water heater to heat hot water. (hot water heater)

I would go with an LED. They will run cooler and won't have to be changed as often. Let's discuss the pros and cons of bulbs (bubs) and see what we can come up with. Maybe if we did a group buy we could get a discount.
