Lately I have been hearing these funny tv and radio commercials that encourage people to replace incandescent lightbulbs with the compact fluorescent kind. They all have several "how many X does it take to change a light bulb" jokes in a row. I like the one that asks how many body builders it takes. The answer is 5, one to change it and four to tell him he's huuuuuuuuuuge. But my favorite is: How many grad students does it take to change a light bulb? The answer is: One, but it takes him 8 years and when he finished he's not sure why he wanted to do it anyway. Of course I feel slightly degraded by it, but it's nice to have your thing on the radio. And it's funny.
Do you know any good grad student/scientist/adacemic jokes?

That's hilarious!
The funny (sad?) thing is, it actually does take me a long time to change a lightbulb. In fact, I have two burned out in my apartment right now! (one over the sink and one on the 2nd floor directly over the stairs).
Thanks for the laugh!
