Q. How many computer engineers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A. It takes 389 computer engineers to screw in a lightbulb:
One to complain that the problem is due to faulty wiring, not the lightbulb. One to call in a consultant to screw in the lightbulb. Eighty seven to debug the work the consultant does. And three hundred more to post notes to computer mailing lists arguing about the basic design flaws of the lightbulb, reminiscing about the good old days when candlelight ruled, and discussing possible technological advances in lightbulb functionality in the future.
