Hmmmm let's see:
One will have to discover the burned out light bulb while on a photographic hike
One to properly compose and expose the old bulb
Three to argue that the composition is too predictable and the exposure is too dark
Two to find a new bulb - one looking in portrait, one looking in landscape
Six to complain that the new bulb doesn't meet the challenge
One to report the bulb-finders for showing a phallic object
26 to debate whether the bulb should be replaced clock-wise or anti-clock-wise
In the end, we all sit in the dark. :P

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again
(hunted this one down on 'the web')

Doh! I knew I'd seen it somewhere before. Apparently quite popular.

a lot...
30 to debate if it really means 'screwing' in a lightbulb
30 more to debate if it really is 'screwing' in a lightbulb, whether or not that's appropriate for this site
30 more to debate alternatives to change, or whether change is necessary at all
30 more to complain about the topic
5 to show off their superior life-time warranty bulbs
10 to debate whether the bulb should be white or black
123 to actually offer their version of a lightbulb
9 to complain about why their lightbulb wasn't chosen
15 to complain that the lightbulb that was chosen wasn't the best bulb
10 to complain about those that didn't like any of the lightbulbs
1 to bring a ladder, gloves, and a plotter print of the sky to put on the ceiling since he was up there changing the bulb anyway ;-)
5 to suggest not using a lightbulb, anyways, but to make due with their own native celestial lights ;-)
i guess about 293...

| Why screw in a bulb that has been shattered already for a photograph for "stopped motion" ? |

None. We leave it as is and use a higher ISO.
