14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and to 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.

3 to say that those of you talking about light bulbs aren't working and should get back to work.

1 to say that there's really 7 that are burned out, and the government's lying to us that there's only 1.

Q: How many posters does it take, to steal CoolSmileyGirl's virginity?


A:1,000,001. One to screw her, and one million posters to hear about it, get bored of it, and laugh at it.

Don't you mean 5 people to say "Yer Ma", then 12 disagree to say it's spelled "Yor Ma", then 1 smart ass ignorant noob to point out it's "your".

Then 1 Pighead to laugh at them all, and say in third person that every single one of thier mas can stick a lightbulb up their ass.

Reported post, OP somehow gets offended, posts same topic, closed again, world ends in showery explosion of flaming tennisballs yadda yadda yadda.

Yes they emit light, but they aren't bulb shaped, don't have any void space inside them, aren't user servicable
