No theorizing. No snarky comments. No metaphysics. No wormholes.
Here is what we’re doing today. We are looking for the funniest answer to this question:
how many others does it take to change a lightbulb?
Sample answer: Two. One to fetch it from the black box, and one to convince you that it isn’t really dark out.
I’ve been reading your theories and comments for months, and I know there are some witty people out there. So…lets have at it.
Joke together, be serious alone.

Just one as long as it’s Ben. If Ben needs a light-bulb changer, there’ll be one striding out of that jungle and into camp any day now.
Zero. Cause Jacob doesn’t like technology.
Three: one to get permission from Ben, one to actually screw the bulb and, of course, one to observe!
Annie ?!!?
Hah! Annie, did you mean as in Juliet is going to have to ultrasound the lightbulb later! :-D
One to screw it in and then keep it a big secret from everyone else.
A: None, light bulbs don’t burn out on mystery island.
Oh my, that did sound bad, didn*t it!! lol
at least 3: ben, to manipulate the group thinking the first lightbulb has blown (creepy music), someone else to fetch the new one from storage in the temple, & one more to make sure locke doesn’t blow it up.
How many Others does it take to change a lightbulb? Just two. One to go to the tail section and draw up a list. The second to go to the fuselage section and draw up a list. Return in two days. The chosen candidate (Claire) will have to have her baby removed before she can get up the ladder and change the bulb. Just make sure Alex ‘the lover of the dark’ doesn’t mess up the plans. . .
Awards go to:
Best last liner: Spirit of jazz
Most complicated: AC
Most surprising (and probably the funniest because of that) : Annie
I really do hate to admit it, but I guess these things can be useful after all, like part of a work-out routine. You don’t lift the weights or jump into the aerobics until you’ve done the warm-up and stretching of the muscles first, so this can be like warm-up and stretching of the brain. Then you can move on to some theories until you finally make it up to the heavy duty ones.
Well, theoretically, at least. Laziness can’t be discounted.
It would only take one
If he was an inventive one
The likes of say Edison
Going the speed of light is bad for your age.
I forgot to plus you, two.
@ Annie ; - }
Just one…..Mikhail….if he gets electrocuted he’ll just get up 5 minutes later and try it again.
You guys are cracking me up. And Annie, all I can say is that you sound like a fun date. Everybody wants to know, though; did you want to be at the swan or the orchid?
Thirty-six. One to hold the lightbulb and 35 to twist time and space around it.
Q: How many others does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: “None! They only have to change lightbulbs because they are all a bunch of pharisees!! Mwhaaahahahaaa!!!!” — John Locke
Q: HOW MANY OTHERS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A lightbulb?
A: NONE! THE WHOLE WORLD revolves AROUND THEM!
“you sound like a fun date!”
I imagine you don’t get many of those then!
I know a guy at university like you, he doesn’t get out much either.
Anyway here’s one for you:
How many Quarantines does it take to get a date with a real woman?
In an infintie multiverse with every conceivable event taking place somewhere, it would still never happen.
Do correct me if I am wrong though.
all of them, plus some survivers they kidnapped. they would need a huge operation in which mickeal would hold a grenade and not die, go through an electric gate and not dying and finally getting shot with a arrow and not dying
WHY WONT HE DIE
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It would take 1.
The first guy to get the light.
The other to get the bulb.
