So for some light reading as opposed to the heavy stuff we otherwise seem to get so rallied up on here...

---

How many JAV idols does it take to screw in a light bulb?

...hmmm Does it matter... in it, on it, wherever... but it will likely cause some pixelation to appear on the light bulb.


---

How many .NET developers does it take to change a light bulb?

None... it cannot be done... there is no assembly defined to do
<IMPORT windows.socket.ScrewInFixture> to inherit the control from...

A fix for this problem is to inherit Windows.Forms and set the alpha blend
of the form to 100% with white background. That can give a good
approximation of light on your screen.

---

How many VB Classic developers does it take to change a light bulb?

We don't ... simply check if the old bulb has a property bag.
If it does you can solve the issue by the following line

OldBulb.Visible = True

---

How many Software engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

None, it's a hardware issue.

---

How many Astronomers does it take to change a light bulb?

Only 1, but 100 others will tell him to unscrew the bulb again
so they get less light interference when viewing the stars.

And finally, all of this is irrelevant because according to Einsteins theory of relativity, the faster you move, close to the speed of light, it is likely that you will not see light at all since going faster than light makes everything go black.

So instead of changing the light bulb, simply move slower and the light level should increase naturally.

I'd love to see more of these... :)
