    Since we've covered Mac users and Windows users....


    Q: How many Linux users does it take to change a light bulb?

    A: One to recompile the kernel and rpm the bulb, 10,000 to whine about how windows light bulb wizards are ruining computing for everyone, 1,000 to suggest that the new government light bulbs won't run on linux, and 5 MPAA attorneys to sue the guy who figured out how light bulb threads work.

    Q: How many flies does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

    That was only three.

    The fourth one is on Charlie Rose contemplating life without bulbs.

    And of course, concatenating Chuck Norris with Light Bulb jokes...

    How does Chuck Norris change a light bulb...

    He doesn't, he simply threatens to round house kick the bulb out of existence, and it fixes itself.

    One. But you need 5 others to help make the empowering documentary video about it.

    Great Gosh! As much as I personally support the the Occupy Movement the Human Mega-Phone is like, surreal. There is that really great Occupy vid though. The last minute is ART!

    How many guitar players does it take?
    None, they just steel everyone else's light.
    “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
    ― Muhammad Ali
