I say three. One to order the lightbulb online at a low price. Another one to get the package at the post office. And another one to screw it in. :D

NONE. WE don't use light bulb.

Use monitor,led, alarm clock, optical mouse.etc. for light.

Just one, Jerboy. He holds the bulb and waits for the world to revolve around him and screw it in the socket.

Im addition to the AT'ers mentioned above, we have to have the whining liberals who will protest that the lightbulb is being oppressed because it doesn't really want to be changed.

We also need someone to **CONFIRM** and make **OFFICIAL** the lightbulb. This will be done by creating a poll to see which lightbulb is preferred, providing pics of course.

That's a nice pair of bulbs you've got there... :p (*ducks flying trout*)

How about this:

1 Jerboy, to take note of the wattage and lumens output of the previous burnt-out bulb, and to replace with new, energy-efficient fluorescent bulb, thus saving miniscule $ on parents' power bill. (Or UV bulb, if there are urine stains to be found in the area.)
