    Q: How many software engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

    A: Just one. But it takes them all night. And when they're done, the washing machine doesn't work right.

    And if you're not into plants the bulb can also be used to make an oil lamp.

    My fantasy cruel housewarming joke here in southern California is a large globe-shaped fishbowl filled with multicolored marbles to be placed square in the middle of a mantelpiece. Ideally (and, for gift to work properly), over hardwood floor.

    As I said, awfully cruel. And now that I've said it, I'm sure newbies to the state will look out for anything glass and filled with marbles.

    And thanks to the stupid ADA, this doorknob is illegal. It's round. No round doorknobs are allowed under the ADA.

    man, a lot of what the ADA does is retarded. Why are they trying to cripple innovation? they're impairing inventors left and right, and don't get me started on their tax burden - they cost an arm and a leg!

    I wanted one of those but never got one. My brothers got a gizmo that let us bake plastic bugs in aluminum molds that got astoundingly hot. After I made some super realistic roaches and froze them in the ice cube trays before my parents threw a party, the bug-baker was toast.
