LIGHTBULB CONTEST

Fang> Hey, yoy Goliath! How many Gargoyles does it take to screw in a lightbulb huh?

<Goliath stares at Fang>

Fang> I duno either, but it must take a lot since neither Talon or his dumb replicas of you have even BOTHERED to change the lightbulb for my cell. Oh, wait, that's because you all despise everything about me <starts over dramatic sobbing> Nobody likes me, boo hoo hoo.

<Goliath turns away in disgust>

Fang> <stops sobbing> What's wrong Mr G, cat got your tongue? Hey, come back here, or I WILL get your tongue! Aw, you're no fun anymore.

LIGHTBULB CONTEST

(since I just posted, thought I'd take a crack):

Fang: "By the way, how many gargoyles does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"

Broadway: <momentarily caught off guard by the non sequitur, starts to count to himself on his fingers> "Uhhh... one... two..."

Fang: <shaking his head and covering his eyes in mock disgust> "Oy! The world may never know."

[Thought this was a natural tie in to recent discussions about the tootsie pop commercial-- which I remember clearly from when I was a child, thank you very much-- and a rather sad attempt to combine the punchline with a pop-culture reference, but what the hey :p]

You're a crazy man, Greg, but you're my kind of crazy. :)

If you're still in the mood after judging the flood of LIGHTBULB CONTEST entries, i thought you might also enjoy some related excerpts from an old thread on the Gargoyles mailing list, as compiled by Marcos "Tony" Rawlings. It _does_ contain a couple of references to characters from the TGS fan project, but they aren't too hard to skirt around if you're feeling cautious. (ImHO it'd be a shame to pass all of 'em up -- some are absolute rip-snorters.) Whether you do decide to give it a peek or not, the listmembers' take on Fang's joke can be found at http://www.spottycat.com/marlos/lightbulb.html . Good luck with the contest, and happy reading?

How many gargoyles does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

None since screwing lightbulbs aren't part of the gargoyles way.

LIGHTBULB CONTEST

How many gargoyles does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

If k gargoyles can change a light bulb, and if one more simply watches them do it, then k+1 gargoyles will have changed the light bulb.

Therefore, by induction, for all n in the positive integers, n gargoyles can change a light bulb.

Logically speaking, of course. Does this sound familiar?
