ROFL :-) I love it. This has just displaced the Pentium designers
as one of my all time favourite top three Light bulb changers (it's

FWIW, the other 2 are:
How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb?

with brightly coloured machine tools
How many Social Workers does it take to change a light bulb?
None, but it takes 15 to write a paper entitled "Coping with
darkness".
