A newbie opens a thread and asks how to change a light bulb.
5 minutes later an experienced forum member posts detailed instructions.
5 other members post their similar experiences changing light bulbs.

8 members are upset about the grammar experts.
9 write that this is not the right place for discussing light bulbs and this discussion should be carried on in another forum.
10 defend the thread, since we all use light bulbs and this thread therefore belongs in this forum.
21 members debate which light bulb changing method is superior, where the best light bulbs can be purchased, which kind of light bulb is best and which brands are bad quality.
6 post URLs which show light bulbs.
5 say that the previous URLs are wrong and post the right addresses.
14 quote the complete posts and write "Me too." under them.
7 announce that they will leave the forum because they can't stand these constant light bulb discussions.
1 member suggest starting a forum for electrical bits and bobs.
2 say that the help forum has already been set up for that topic.
4 suggest that the posters read the light bulb FAQ.
5 members point out old threads that have already handled this topic.
Answer: It takes 108 forum members to change one light bulb.
I found this somewhere else.

The question is moot............ a skinner wouldn't notice the bulb needs changing, as the monitor provides all the light one needs.

P.S.
If you marry the lightbulb you won't have to worry about changing it, it will spend the rest of your life trying to change you.

4 will try to figure out how to skin the bulb and another 5 on top of that will try to crack the shell and skin the filaments (and probably succeed).

How many skinners does it take to change a light bulb?
Is this before they skin it or after? It is important to know because if they did, then someone will email them saying that they want to put thier work in a magazine... but the magazine has nudity and heaven knows what else... and they get it back and it has so much 'screwing' in it...
It could happen just like that.

As long as nobody tries to punch out your lights it's hunky dory.

Let's not forget the egocentrics who just hold up the bulb and wait for the world to revolve around them and admire their genius...
