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?

Fang: "How many gargoyles does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"
"I don't know, how many would it take to pound you into kitty paste?"

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

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

Goliath: You mean the lightbulb died? We must have a Wind Ceremony for it. Come. (exits)

Fang: No, Goliath, wait! (signs) Man, he can't even take a joke!

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?

Two. One to hang from the ceiling, the other to make him angry!

A team of Disney writers, artists, animators, as well as one great executive producer to make sure it gets done.

I'm not sucking up, am I?

(...why does everyone automatically think Fang is going to have a chance to ask *Goliath* this again?)

(Fang voice:)"How many Gargoyles does it take to change a lightbulb? ...None! They don't have time to change lighbulbs! They are too busy out harassing innocent citizens who are just minding their own business and locking them up in drafty Frankenstein cells! With no TV! HEY! DON'T YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME WHEN I'M YELLING AT YOU! ...ya creep..."

My last post had nothing to do with Noel Leas' post. Purely original on my part. It seemed weird that we both thought of the same basic answer within 5 minutes though.

Hey, Greg!

Long time, no post! I've got an idea for that contest:

Subject: LIGHTBULB CONTEST

None. By the time they got it screwed in, they'd all be stone when they need to turn it off.

It would take all of them to catch Bronx first, who would think the lightbulb was a chew toy and later try to bury it.

LIGHTBULB CONTEST

If it takes more than one gargoyle then we should be asking, "How many lightbulbs does it take to piss them all off before they rip the socket out of the ceiling?"
