My Niece: "Mom! The light's out."

[MNJohnnie]

None. In Darwin Theory the Light Bulb screwed itself in.

[Antonello]

Show me a light bulb population that reproduces and passes heritable traits to its progeny and I'll see the foundation behind these jokes.

Otherwise, while I get them, they just lack the kernel of truth they need to be funny.

[dead]

Who needs light? Just sit in the dark and wait for God to change the bulb.

[2nsdammit]

None: There is no such thing as a "Darwinist"....

[Thatcherite]

OK, I smiled at these, I even laughed at some of them. Good effort.

So I've still got a sense of humour. But could you really not laugh at your own side, and think of some funnier answers from the ID crowd? I bet some of the evos can... And is there not room for some Gish/Ham/Wells/Bishop Wilberforce comments in there too?

Nihilist: Nihl. It isn't initiator or the end result, its the screwing that matters.

[JCEccles]

Eric Pianka, PhD:All this talk about energy wasting light bulbs, the mental offal creation of man. Man, the scab of the universe. There are too many light bulbs already. The world passed the safe point of balance in 1922 when the city of Juarez, Mexico, replaced all its oil lamps with electrical light fixtures. Yet more light bulbs are made every year, billions more. Stupid people buy light bulbs. Smart people don't need artificial lights, maybe one. What we really need is a light-activated disease to kill all the pople who work in light bulb factories. That might sound radical, but the earth that lives on after us will praise us. I dream of a world where mankind and his lightbulbs are extinct, where the world is fired with the glory of lampridae pteroptyx, and the soft hazy glow of my bong.

[Right Wing Professor]

If God had wanted you to have light bulbs, he would have created one for you. In fact, in usurping God's prerogative, you are clearly a liberal atheist. Repent!

[AntiGuv]

The Johnson/Behe/Meyer/Dembski answer is actually: One that doesn't seem to exist.

[Mamzelle]

re: Richard Dawkins: None. A light bulb that gives off 1% light intensity is very much worth having. A bulb sitting on the shelf at the supermarket gives off a certain amount of light. One in the cupboard at home gives off more. One five feet from the socket gives off more, and one two feet away even more. One in the socket gives off the most of all. It is therefore inevitable that the bulb will reach the socket.)))

LOL--this was great...

[Conservative Texan Mom]

Why do we assume the light bulb was screwed in? Maybe it grew it's own socket for the purpose of producing light. So, now the question is what environmental conditions necessitated the need for light. Why did it not merely adapt to the dark? Perhaps it did, which is why it has no eyes. Was it a cave dwelling bulb that evolved into a light bulb because light increased it's changes of survival. Could the light actually be an adaptation to the sense of sight without eyes. This would make sense when one takes into consideration the fragility of a light bulb. If it were to rely on other senses, such as touch, and hearing, the possibility of smashing itself against a rock, or falling off a ledge would be greater than avoiding those things all together. Now, did the light bulb loose its legs because it no longer need to travel to explore its environment since its environment is now illuminated?



THREE YEARS LATER



How did the evolution of the Darwinist ability to screw in the light bulb effect the evolution of the bulb? Did light bulbs stop producing their own sockets because it was no longer necessary? Did light bulbs evolve into the different species, incandescent, halogen, florescent, etc, to compete for the beneficial affects toward survival that result from the relationship with the Darwinist?....

[Oztrich Boy]

Charles Darwin: None. But if it could be shown that the bulb entered the socket without a series of clockwise turns, my theory would absolutely break down.

Therefore Darwinism is accepted in the USA, but not in places where light bulns only require a 15° turn to lock into place.

[FDNYRHEROES]

How many psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb?

Just one, but the bulb has got to want to change...

[SunkenCiv]

Heh...

Blam, I actually considered doing a GGG ping to this future bloodbath. :')

[SunkenCiv]

How many Yuppies does it take to screw in a light bulb?
