How many? None. You’ll sit in the dark and like it!
And what about Compact Fluorescent Lamps ???
From the same site :
How many Microsoft programmers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They’ve declared “darkness” a standard.
And then one more to start something totally irrelevant like light sabres because they both have “light” in it.
Then 50 more to talk about light sabres and Star Wars.
Exactly 4 more to tell us that whether or not the bulb can be changed, by whom, when and at what cost must be decided in Beijing, and that we need not concern ourselves with such matters.
1 to tell us that lightbulbs were in fact a Taiwanese invention and that foreigners couldn’t possibly understand all the subtleties involved.

And one to post a funny image relating to changing lightbulbs…like this one:
1 to tell you to not be so stupid and use the search function. That’s what it’s there for, and post a link to the search page.

BroonInThe Dark.
I bought a light bulb and it had corn on it. Why cant the light bulbs be like the ones back in Moose Armpit??
Oh. And one to complain about Taiwan counterfeit bulbs.
Yeah, I had a litebulb once.
One to spell it wrong.
And two to post something that gets floundered.
forumosa.com/taiwan/viewtopic.php?t=30840
And one moderator to flounder them.
One to make a completely illegible post rife with grammatical and spelling errors so egregious it takes everyone else a couple of re-reads to determine they’re posting in English.
One to make a smartass and/or insulting remark about someone somewhere in the thread.
doi yuo maen liek thi, yuo asshole? Or liek yuo’re mothre?
And one poster to point out the evidence in the oracle bone script that it was the Shang Chinese who invented the lightbulb. Or space travel, depending on how you interpret some of the graphs:
Graph #3, reconstructed on the right, clearly shows a lightbulb with filaments and a base.
This link is actually really worth a look
And 4 more to debate whether “lightbulb” is American or British English.
