How many TechnoPagans does it take to screw in a light bulb?
If the computer is still working, who cares about the light bulb.

Nobody knows, we couldn't get them to leave the keyboard.
TechnoPagans are often found discussing the best method of removing hot wax from keyboards. Seems unaccustomed to sunlight. Have had coven-mates for years whom they have never seen face to face, much less know which continent they live on.
Distinguishing Signs: Casts circle with #5 torx driver. Chalice contains Jolt. BoS is writtin in Perl. Refers to eclectic ritual as "cross-platforming." Thinks "naked in your rites" means a non-GUI environment.
Are you smiling right now?
