... plus ...

1 to ask "What light bulb?",

2 insisting that it doesn't need changing anyway,

3 demanding the voltage be increased by 5 orders of magnitude to simply overcome the resistance of the broken filament,

4 describing Faraday cages they have built around said light bulb,

5 demanding someone else stick a finger into the empty socket to see if the switch is on or off.

I nearly did myself an injury imagining skits the Python team could have concocted if Usenet had been around in their heyday!
