    It takes exactly minimum of 5 physicists to change a light bulb: 1 is standing on a table holding the new bulb up, whilst 4 remaining physicists each holds one corner of the table lifting it up and turning it round with the one standing on in precise circles to screw the bulb into pace :)!

    light bulbs are good for lighting the home but stay away from incandescent lamps because they generate so much heat :.,
