Lifted from another forum but modified for my Myswag buddies.
Well after reading the thread by Mace on Myswag 2011 Awards I thought I would throw this up.
This intends to take the mickey out of some people in a tongue in cheek sort of way and hopefully no one gets upset.
So the questions is – How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb
Answers:
1 to change the light bulb and 1 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
27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light
bulbs
53 to flame the spell checkers
41 to correct spelling/grammar flames
