Q: How many Frenchmen does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One. He grabs ahold of the bulb and the world revolves around him.
Q: How many BC'ers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Uh, what was the question again?
Lol. 😛
Not to cause controversy, but if they act as a team, and are so far from each other, is not a too silly question.
Q: How many forum moderators does it take to change a light bulb ?
The only answers I can think of.
A: No one knows, but if you dare take the risk, use the triangle with red exclamation mark in the bottom left.
A: One to bring the burnt-out bulb to the attention of the others.
A: A conference of at least five to determine the wisest and most fair course of action.
A: Three to exchange a flurry of PMs regarding the burnt-out bulb, to ascertain that it can't somehow be mended.
A: Three more to field questions from the members about why the light bulb needed changing, and whether the new style is really the most effective.
A: One to point out that the light bulb has been banned, and we can all go back to what we were doing before...
😀

+1 to offer to make a "Light Bulb" topic sticky. It is both peace of creative art, and of our forum history.
I am seriously, I mean it. 🙂

Q: How many forum moderators does it take to change a light bulb ?
A: Doesn't matter, the bulb is transferred to the Sin-bin, and members are momentarily in the dark (ages).
There is a thin line between being funny and being sarcastic, I hope I never pass it, at least at this section... 😀
All moderators have always been nice to me, I have only to thank. 🙂
Me too.
Thanks for your good humor and understanding. 😉
Hey Anatoliy, that's a good idea ! 😉
I have somewhere an old radio having a valve that consists in a single filament in the bulb. I do not know if it's a "light bulb", or a "light resistor", seriously.
I've never been there, not yet, but keep it quiet... 😀
Do you mean something like "diyLightbulb.com" ? 😀
Nah, I'm just a TV repairman. 🙂

Juan; it is most probably Baretter, grand-father of modern CCS.
Thanks Anatoliy, surely is that.
Silly question: Is there something you do not know ? 🙂

Silly answer: I don't know how to answer because how could I know what I don't know? 🙂
A1 : Because you do not know what you know.
A2 : Because you do know what you know, but not what you don't know.
A3 : Are going through a difficult and confusing period.

Silly Theorem
i) Hypothesis
We assume that all quantities are finite and measurable
Uk = Total knowledge
Ok = Own knowledge
Oi = Own ignorance
Sk = Socrates constant
In an inertial reference frame, Sk ≈ 1, after all, Socrates just knew that he knew nothing.
ii) Thesis
Ok = (Uk - Oi) + Sk
iii) Demonstration
I do not know... 😀
iv) Corollary 1
Socrates was almost ignorant. 😀
v) Corollary 2
From (iii) it follows that I am less ignorant than Socrates. 😎
vi) Corollary 3
If Ok < 0 It means you're a complete moron, you know less than Socrates. 😀

Propulsion systems can't work forever, and (eg) photons from the sun, do more than charge the batteries, transfer momentum, which in turn decreases the speed, gravity does the rest...
Silly answer: Unfortunately, eventually, most will fall.

As life goes by
At first you believe in Santa Claus.
Then you stop believing in Santa Claus.
Finally oneself is Santa Claus.
Merry Christmas
