I don't care WHO you are, THESE are funny!.

PLEASE PUT YOUR DRINK DOWN BEFORE READING























You might be an engineer if:

1)You have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically.
2)You enjoy pain.
3)You know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long division.
4)You chuckle whenever anyone says "centrifugal force".
5)You've actually used every single function on your graphing calculator.
6)It is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer.
7)You frequently whistle the theme song to "MacGyver".
8)You know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative of water.
9)You think in "math".
10)You've calculated that the World Series actually diverges.
11)You hesitate to look at something because you don't want to break down its wave function.
12)You have a pet named after a scientist.
13)You laugh at jokes about mathematicians.
14)The Humane society has you arrested because you actually performed the Schrodinger's Cat experiment.
15)You can translate English into Binary.
16)You can't remember what's behind the door in the engineering building which says "Exit".
17)You have to bring a jacket with you, in the middle of summer, because there's a wind-chill factor in the lab.
18)You are completely addicted to caffeine.
19)You avoid doing anything because you don't want to contribute to the eventual heat-death of the universe.
20)You consider ANY non-engineering course "easy".
21)When your professor asks you where your homework is, you claim to have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely, that according to Heisenberg it could be anywhere in the universe.
22)The "fun" center of your brain has deteriorated from lack of use.
23)You'll assume that a "horse" is a "sphere" in order to make the math easier.
24)The blinking 12:00 on someone's VCR draws you in like a tractor beam to fix it.
25)You bring a computer manual / technical journal as vacation reading.
26)The salesperson at Circuit City can't answer any of your questions.
27)You can't help eavesdropping in computer stores... and correcting the salesperson.
28)You're in line for the guillotine... it stops working properly... and you offer to fix it.
29)You go on the rides at Disneyland and sit backwards to see how they do the special effects.
30)You have any "Dilbert" comics displayed in your work area.
31)You have a habit of destroying things in order to see how they work.
32)You have never backed up your hard drive.
33)You haven't bought any new underwear or socks for yourself since you got married.
34)You spent more on your calculator than on your wedding ring.
35)You think that when people around you yawn, it's because they didn't get enough sleep.
36)You would rather get more dots per inch than miles per gallon
37)You've even calculated how much you make per second.
38)Your favorite James Bond character is "Q," the guy who makes the gadgets.
39)You understood more than five of these jokes.
40)You make a copy of this list, and post it on your door (or your home page !)

The Top 10 Things Engineering School didn't teach:

10. There are at least 10 types of capacitors.
9. Theory tells you how a circuit works, not why it does not work.
8. Not everything works according to the specs in the databook.
7. Anything practical you learn will be obsolete before you use it, except the complex math, which you will never use.
6. Always try to fix the hardware with software.
5. Engineering is like having an 8 a.m. class and a late afternoon lab every day for the rest of your life.
4. Overtime pay? What overtime pay?
3. Managers, not engineers, rule the world.
2. If you like junk food, caffeine and all-nighters, go into software.
1. Dilbert is a documentary.

Top 14 reasons to date an engineer:

14. We are trained to do it right the first time
13. We are used to all nighters
12. We are always willing to experiment
11. We know how to decrease and increase friction
10. We know all about heat transfer
9. We do it with more torque
8. We can wire your circuits
7. Free body diagrams
6. Potential for smart children
5. Engineering couples have better moments
4. We know how to deal with stress and strain
3. We know it's not the length of the vector that counts, but how you apply the force
2. "Lubrication, Friction and Wear" is actually a class
1. The world DOES revolve around us....we pick the coordinate system

Somebody remind me why im trying for mechanical engineering?

I'll let BP read the last 14....
 
The last 14 were vaguely amusing. The 1st 40 are well for in-gin-ears I guess. In all the list of 64 items is 2 minutes of my life I'll never get back... :(
 
I'm just waiting for my good friend, lahdeedah to read this and get his input.
 
34)You spent more on your calculator than on your wedding ring.

yep - TI-59

with software modules, cards and printer had around $1,000 in this baby. i *think* it's still packed away in one of the boxes that's followed me across country. <g>

in comparison wife says i can have this if she gets a new stove and bay window in the living room. :)

IMO

Core i7 = waste

ibuypower = labor overcharge

of course, if you're looking 8 years in the future and dont mind not having to work on it, then it's a pretty good deal.
