Another dozen to claim that the lightbulb was a buggy MS product.

And 16 cave-dwelling students of philosophy to doubt the reality of light bulbs, and affirm that darkness is preferable anyway.

Are these light bulbs manufactured in the U.S., or China?

Of course you need one to ask the originator if he or she is logged in.

No need to change the light bulb. After Y2K, there won't be any electricity.

I wasn't too worried about Y2K, but I am getting pretty nervous about Y10K. You know its going to cause some real havoc in most Windows environments when we switch from four-digit to five-digit years. And I bet Gates is going to make us buy a new Windows program just for this...

Don't forget one to post a graphic link to a website about lightbulb jokes.
