Thirty-nine thousand, three-hundred and four.
Fourteen-thousand to cheer the demise of the old bulb despite its years of service in illuminating the room.
A crew of about eighty-six under-paid employees to physically change the bulb.
A further fourteen-thousand to loudly jeer the replacement bulb during the changing ceremony.
Twenty to throw away their room-keys in protest.
Six hundred to question why they didn't use a smaller, more energy efficient bulb.
Another six hundred to claim that the old lightbulb's demise was just a work.
One to insist that the new lightbulb is only a temporary solution, and that they're only using it until they find a bigger one.
One to criticize the new bulb's workrate.
One to applaud the new bulb for generating heat.
Twenty to tell people how they would have changed the bulb.
One to suggest keeping the room dark for a few days will make the fitting of a new lightbulb seem more special somehow.
One to loudly exclaim that they should have stolen the lightbulb next door rather than using a new, untested bulb.
One to insist lightbulbs were brighter back in 1998
One to insist that modern lightbulbs are as bright as they've ever been.
One to argue that the reason modern lightbulbs seem brighter is because there are less people in the room.
One to argue that the room is smaller now than it used to be.
One to propose returning to the old system of a second, smaller lightbulb and an artificial wall.
One to remind everyone that the reason the neighbours' house burnt down was due to an over-reliance on faulty old lightbulbs.
One to insist we bring in a load of untested lightbulbs straight from the factory.
One to suggest using a smaller, Mexican lightbulb.
Another to remind that guy that Mexican lightbulbs screw the other way, and that they'd need time to find an adapter.
One to suggest using one of those bayonet lightbulbs they have in Japan.
One to misspell the word 'feud'
Nine hundred and five to shout 'Let's go Lightbulb'
Nine thousand to shout 'Lightbulb sucks!'
One to write a long post that starts "As you're lying there, Lightbulb, hopefully as uncomfortably as possible..."
One to admit that maybe the old bulb wasn't quite so bad.
One to loudly proclaim that he's moving to the smaller apartment down the street, where they're using the old lightbulb as a paperweight.
One to question the logic behind using an old lightbulb as a paperweight.
One to insist it could still 'go' as a lightbulb.
One to complain that the old lightbulb is occupying a space that would be better put to use by a newer lightbulb.
One to ask if The Rock is still a lightbulb.
One to call that guy a mark.
One to insist 'mark' is a slur that dates back to a time when most lightbulbs were still masquerading as candles.
One to proclaim that their favourite lightbulb could probably make it as a candle.
One to suggest he might take lightbulbs more seriously if they were packaged as striplights.
One to weave a fanciful tale about the return of the lightbulb he had in his room as a young boy.
One to insist the new lightbulb is going to be fine as long as the room gets repainted.
Forty to argue about colours for the new room.
One to accept that they probably aren't going to repaint the room.
One to suggest they'll probably just try to tell people that the room is now a different colour.
One to wonder why everyone is ignoring all the lightbulbs in the cupboards, which are all working just fine.
One to deride that guy as a smark.
And, naturally, all the above to complain online.
