And the one saying that when he used to need lightbulbes he felt good
talking to people that HAD lightbulbs.
And the one wondering whether a 3d scanner would allow him to scan a 3d
lightbuld
the one that scanned a lightbulb with his regular scanner and made a
hightfield out of it.
the 24 that start scanning different models of lightbulbs
the one that suggests starting a lightbulb database
the 3 that say its a good idea
the 6 that decide to make an ILP (Internet Lightbulb Project)
the 279 that join

You've had a class in statistical theory I see. And a success at the
Comedy Nightclub as well. Some truly funny stuff to read here, been a
while (if ever?).
Sorry to say though that the second to last count is wrong. It takes at
least two there, so maybe it's really 228 total.
Am I wetting down the comedy yet? Didn't mean to.

Then there's the stunt a friend of mine meant to play a few years ago. 
He took a bunch of pictures of the local power plant and scanned them,
but he chickened out before actually posting them to
alt.binaries.pictures.utilities. ;-)

Thanks people!

Haven't had a lough like that for ages :-)

You for got a few though, like the one who produces a 3D sterio
image and postes it in binaries.images, and the one wo writes
back saying it's KEWWELL!, and the two who reply saying they
can't focus because the light hurts their eyes.

OH and you forgot the one who's trying to produce an image of a
lightbulb and doesn't know how to get the light source inside the
object.

Cheers Steve
