Don't forget the need for an old curmudgeon to comment to everyone:
"I think you may have me mistaken for someone who gives a crap about changing light bulbs."

How many freepers does it take to change a light bulb?
Depeneds on which FReeper it is.
Those of us with artillery backgrounds will first launch the bulb 'just because'.
Those of us with weapons proficiency will use it as an impromptu target.
And others will merely throw it to make it pop loudly.
*chuckle*

At least one FReeper, that would be me, bitching that the article was unnecessarily excerpted. And further bitching that the link is to a page with 117 graphics and three pop-up ads when the poster could have just as easily linked to the "printer friendly" version of the article that has minimal graphics and no pop up ads.
LOL
