Lets Put Your theory to the test then, ey?

Is it light bulb or lightbulb?

you forgot the, random porn spammer to post g0at, the twelve people to report the g0at in moderation, the thread hijacker, the mod to rmind people to stay on topic, the one person to bring up what ever happened to the old lightbulb (was it recycled etc.), then the people to start a new topic to discuss discarded lightbulbs and the merits of recycleing. you see? it goes on..... because only special people use forums :D :D :D

Flourescent lightbulbs are better. They burn less electricity, but cost more.

I disagree. Incandescent lightbulbs are much better. They provide heat as well as light, while fluorescent bulbs only provide light. Another downside is that fluorescent bulbs commonly hold dangerous chemicals in the bulb that can be released into the atmosphere when the glass is broken.

How many forum members does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Who cares, shut up.

57 claiming that the lightbulb is part of a liberal conspiracy to replace the 'old' traditional light with newer more environmentally efficient light.

its a conspiracy. every lightbulb sold has a microcam in it. this is how the government keeps tabs on us. think about it, we couldnt function without lightbulbs. we depend on them. think about how many lightbulbs there are in your house, your work, your apartment, your school. they're everywhere, and they se everything.
:shock:

In the forum that did not exist it would be...

Two: one to get the giraffe, one to fill the bathtub with brightly colored machine parts, and one to repair the poem...

With the punchline being Ralf.

I'll note that you noted that in this thread

The topic of lightbulbs didn't last long.

How many forum members does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Who cares, shut up.

Sorry - Too late

not not a light bulb. its a magical glowing ball of electicity.

The scientific term would probably be:

The politicaly correct term would be probably:

By the way, is it light bulb or lightbulb?

the bible says its lightbulb

You forgot...
1 to build a temple to the lightbulb
1 to send the temple a fruit basket
47 to argue about the lightbulbs connections to Max
1 Reppy to hint about said connections

Don't forget 5 newbies to be sacrificed to the temple.

Ah, the poor souls who never experienced the bliss that was Forum 7. I weep for them. The temples, the word games, the excessive amounts of spam...

By the way, dictionary.com accepts either lightbulb or light bulb.

so the mystery of lightbulb vs lightbulb continues.

Wrong! it's "light bulb vs lightbulb"!

Pfft. None of you have even proved that the lightbulb actually exists. What a useless debate.

Flourescent lightbulbs are better. They burn less electricity, but cost more.

I disagree. Incandescent lightbulbs are much better. They provide heat as well as light, while fluorescent bulbs only provide light. Another downside is that fluorescent bulbs commonly hold dangerous chemicals in the bulb that can be released into the atmosphere when the glass is broken.

I think this calls for serious debate on the relative merits of different types of bulb.

5 to accuse Bush of being responsible for this conflict over lightbulbs.
And another 15 to say that bush single handily authorized, planned and executed the covert mission to burn out the lightbulb, so that he could pay Haliburton for a new lightbulb.
