Subject: Two more relevant light bulb jokes
How many Natural Selectionists does it take to change a lightbulb?
Well actually, we won't even TRY to change the bulb. We will simply stop
using the room that has the burned out bulb, and start using only rooms
with FUNCTIONING bulbs. That way, over time, ....
How many evolutionists does it take to change a light bulb?
Only one (to aim the x-ray machine) but the bulb changes very, very
slowly
For many more light bulb jokes (not to do with memetics) see:

PS. I realise that my first memetics joke might well be misinterpreted
accross the pond (especially with zippergate in full swing). My
intention was [a lightbulb] "being blown" = fused/not working/needs
changing
