I have been in the humor industry for a long time and this is not funny

[jbretsch]

The correct term is "Humour" and not "Humor" as per
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humor

[bmblank]

A. I dont' care what wikipedia says, humor has no u in it... Well, ok, it has one, but no more than 1...

And 2. This should be in the proper lightbulb forum..

[buymeapc]

The correct URL is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humour with a "u"

[bmblank]

wikipedia is WRONG!!!

Clearly, what this thread needs is actual instruction on the proper way to change a light bulb:
http://www.ehow.com/how_370_change-lightbulb.html

Or this one:
http://www.wikihow.com/Change-a-Light-Bulb

Or perhaps we should actually be testing the socket to see if it works?

What should a working bulb look like?

Finally, to better understand what we are working with, I think we need to understand the History of the light bulb:

STEP 2: Allow a hot bulb to cool before touching it.

Gees, now that explains everything. I'm looking so forward to going home tonight with this new found knowledge.

Thanks for the links Sam.

Now I just have to figure out how to reach for the bulbs...they are so high up...I can't reach them when I stand on my tippy-toes. And the air seems so much thinner up there.

I think you should look into one of these devices???

Then you wouldn't have to worry about a resparator due to the air mass change while changing the lamp/lightbulb/light bulb/illumination device

[jbretsch]

I have a much better way to change light bulbs, but I will not post it here. PM me for details.

[defrag]

I believe the best way forward would be to set up a poll so we can judge the numbers requiring a special lightbulb topic

Nice one baddabing!!
