Engineers

What do engineers remind u of?

• boring?
• tech geek?
• maths genius?
• spew mathematics formulas better than vulgarities?
• nerd in specs and carry thick maths book?
• no social life and sucky dress sense?

The above do not really apply to all but I do seen a few with the above qualities. I remembered this Cheena guy from my poly in the ECC course who wore his shirt tucked in tightly into his pants, and try to pick up girls with his half-bucket English (Lo and behold, he spoke perfect French with the French tutor, seriously tainting the language hor...) Luckily in my school now, most of them are decently dressed, basically, the polo tee, jeans and sandals are hot favourite (Eh... Uniform? Ha ha). I can explain why most of us wore specs instead of contact lens, coz we need to solve very hard maths questions, thus less sleep for us and therefore we cannot wear lenses with dry eyes. I had a hell time solving the tutorial questions, 1 question about an hour or so.

Our professors had been through the tedious and boring stuffs themselves, so some really nice one made an effort finding jokes and placed them in the lecture notes, or cracked jokes during the lessons. The jokes during lessons I can't remember much coz most of the time I was dozing, hee hee, and those in the notes, not much also lah. *Weak laugh... Anyway, just wanna share some funny engineering/scientist/mathematicians jokes. =)

Atoms

Two atoms meet one day while walking down the street.
One asks the other how he's doing.
The atom responds: "Oh, just awful. I've lost an electron!“
Shocked and stunned by such a horrific idea, the atom asks her friend, "Really?! Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm positive."

At the Scientist Party

• Everyone gravitated toward Newton, but he just kept moving around at a constant velocity and showed no reaction.
• Einstein thought it was a relatively good time.
• Coulomb got a real charge out of the party.
• Cauchy, being the only mathematician there, still managed to integrate well with everyone.
• Ohm spent most of the time resisting Ampere's opinions on current events.
• Volt thought the social had a lot of potential.
• Watt turned out to be a powerful speaker.
• Hertz went back to the buffet table several times a minute.
• Faraday had quite a capacity for food.
• Everyone was attracted to Tesla's magnetic personality.

Lastly, a clip I found online, which kind of imprint the statement "Engineers like to complicate things", the infamous i (sq. root of -1). =)
