probably the more correct answer is:
Q. How many graduate students does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A. one graduate student and one professor. the student to do the work
and the professor to take the credit.
to tie it into another thread, i have heard an interesting spin on an
old joke, worth repeating:
response from classical economics professor in india to student who
suggests that socialism might have something to do with kerala's
higher literacy and freedoms: "it might all work very well in practice
but it will never work in theory".
