>How many analytic philosophers does it take to change a lightbulb?

AAAAh, if you consider it carefully you will realise that this is a pseudo-problem. A lightbulb, by definition, is a bearer of light. If it does not bear light, then it is not a lightbulb. The answer to the problem lies in the disolution of the problem; the aim of philosophy is to show the fly the way out of the fly-bottle, to free our intelligence from the bewitchment of language. (Wittgenstein)

*Great Joke! Who is this Wittgenstein? He sounds interesting. I have been away from any formal schooling.
