Edit: I just realized this was posted back in August last year by someone else, but hey, it's worth reading again.
Maybe we should add:
>1 person to unknowingly post exactly the same thing as someone else did a while back, and 14 people to direct that person to the original post

499 people to gather in a field and celebrate the changiing of the lightbulb with a festival. And 15 people to teach others the joy of changing lightbulbs.
