1 to change the light bulb and to post that it has been changed.
56 to argue over whether it’s “lightbulb” or “light bulb”.

1,275 to click Like, Love, HaHa, Wow, Sad, or Angry before reading anything.
219 to complain that the page is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb-specific group.
These numbers will rise substantially when someone’s light bulb burns out, so they share it again to complain no one has changed it for them yet.

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.
Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!
Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
