How many forum posters does it take to change a light bulb?

1 To say Diodes are better.

 

"let there be light"

[BEAKER]

Anyone who actually believe in lightbulbs have obviously not seen the massive amount of evidence to the contrary. People claim they change lightbulbs all the time. But for some reason nobody seems to have a lightbulb available if I stop someone in the street or take a cab. I once visited a cafe and there was an electrician and he didn't have a lightbulb either.

Now that's funny T.! - Am I the only one who carries spare light bulbs around in my pocket?!? (Just kidding):(
