RE: Coauthors [joke]



Ok, Dinogeorge (Warning:blatant stereotyping below):

        How many paleontologists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
        -How much grant money do you have?

        How many paleontologists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
        -None.  They have to be able to afford electricity first!

        How many paleontologists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
        -One, but only after the bulb has spent a century a nose horn
         on Iguanodon.

        How many paleontologists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
        -Depends on whether you believe paleontologists are
         warm-blooded or cold-blooded...

        How many paleontologists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
        -Seventeen.  One to do it and publish a paper on it (with six
         graduate students doing much of the work), four to review the
         paper, three to drum the author out of his department for
         advocating the heretical view that such change happens
         instantly, and not gradually over a period of millenia, one
         lightbulb smoothly transitioning to the next, and the TV crew
         from Paleoworld to mangle the entire issue into something
         decicive.
