Guild Wars 2

Thought this was funny so I had to ask thison the forum.
So here it goes:

How many Skritts does it take to change a lightbulb?

Two, one to hold the ladder while the other unscrews it and steals it?

None, they’re all too busy stealing our shinies.

Depends on the spawn rate. On any given day? probably about 20.

asura reply: “Our studies are still unclear on how skritt intelligence scale with numbers, the test results are inconclusive. but it is my belief that such task would never happen, because the single lonely skritt would mistake the photoelectric orb for a ‘shiny’, steal it, and never come back”

11 is the answer.

Skritt 1- “What what what? WHAAAAAAAAAAAT!”
Skritt 2- “Shinieeeeeees!”
Skritt 3- “Need change lightbulb! More skritts think better! Come here!”
Skritt 4- “Lightbulb? Shinieeeeeeee!”
Skritt 5- “I got ladder, need help!”
Skritt 6-7- <helping with ladder>
Skritt 8- <stealing lightbulb from Asuras>
Skritt 9- <bringing lightbulb to the ladder>
Skritt 10- “I’m Skritt Commander, supervision this! Why me called this? I dunno it sounded cool!”
Skritt 11- <changes lightbulb>

It is a trick question. Skritt will have nothing to do with an unlit light bulb because it isn’t a “shinny” until it is lit, and they only like shinnies.

I think you’d need a few Asuran scientist to invent the lightbulb before a Skritt can change one.

Per se, some Charr are beginning primitive work with lightning(electricity) and so the light bulb may come from Charr before Asura. Asura would just whip up some magical stone that glows and stick it on a suitable container.

^ zing!

“Ho and below! The windmill king wishes to change a lightbulb! Bring out the lightbulb!!!”

Windmill King finds a fork.

“Four soothes! You have met your match, lightbulb!”

Windmill Kings sticks the fork into the light socket, gets shocked and falls to the floor

“You bewitched me! You evil magpie! You’re not a lightbulb!”

This is great.

Also, I’d like to thank everyone in this thread for reminding of the Skritt intelligence test heart.

In the meantime, a Norn strolled in, snickered at the need for ladders, and changed the lightbulb.

Then proceeded to drink to her own legend growing, and went serenely on her way. At least, that’s how my ranger would handle it.

;)

Yeah, like we are to believe that a Norn could comprehend such complicated mechanics as a screw. Much less. we all know any norn would still be turning it the wong direction, even hours later.

Haha, great answers everyone! Keep em coming!

Oh yeah? My Norn WARRIOR joined the freakin’ PRIORY! Mah Warr’er smart! Hurr hurr!

As far as the Skritts are concerned, if they do manage to change a burnt out lightbulb, they would be like “SHINIES!” and try to steal it. More likely, they would electrocute themselves in the process.
