Personally, I think it should be moved to this section

Yes, It probably should be in the joke forum. Your right, but at the same time... The fact that I miscatagorized it makes it even funnier.

You forgot to add the post lightbulb discussion issues.

I.e., the issue about whether a smaller standard bulb has efficient terminal lumination, or whether it would be better to use the heavier prior standard bulb with higher wattage with a slightly larger fitting that requires the use of a larger, heavier platform to direct more light over a broader range.  Then someone will bring up that a new experimental bulb that uses the current platform might be adopted soon, and a whole new fight, err, discussion, will ensue on that subject.

You forgot;

Yep, forgot that one!

Stuff it in the pooper and take pictures....

Has anyone thought about organizing a group buy on light bulbs?  If so, will we get to choose what kind we want?  Who all is in?  I heard if we buy 10,000 bulbs we will get a 10 cent discount on each bulb.  

It obviously takes more ARF.COMMERS to change a light bulb than any of us imagined.
