Heh heh - my alma mater is selling "EngiNERD" t-shirts

[Rabrrrrrr]

for charity.

I wish I had known about the "Kettering University Football, undefeated since 1919" shirts. Would love to have one of those.

1. I just bought a couple of "Love an Engineer" T-shirts

From Cal Poly SLO. Not sure I want to wear them to work though. I also have the T-shirt "Top Ten Reasons to Date an Engineer" but only wear it in the company of Mr. 40ftunder.

2. engineers are the superior race

methinks. :-)

Everyone should either be an engineer, or be married to one.

To go any other way is just.......irresponsible.

3. I'm not an engineer, but I certainly appreciate them...

I was visiting my in-laws awhile back, and my mother-in-law remarked how glad she was that we (wife and I ) could talk about "art" with her (father-in-law is "practical engineer type") I politely pointed out that without his "type" we would likely be sitting in dark caves telling stories to one another :)

4. How about engineers marrying each other?

It can get interesting. The offspring of two engineers, well that is a whole 'nother thread....

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Even better!

They can rule the world!

6. Though I have a little dilemma

How to explain my kid, the product of two engineers, likes *?

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. somtimes kids rebel

though I'll say this - i went to school during the first Evil Empire Bushfatwah, and the majority of the students (all engineers) seemed to like. There were a number of us who could see the truth, but I am sure that more than half supported that asshole, and the republican party. And probably most of them are still republicans.

The one sad thing about a lot of engineers is that they can be fairly myopic on anything outside engineering.

8. "Or be married to one"...

I sure wish someone (actually, that should be plural) I knew... ahem, realized that.

9. T shirts from MIT

First of all, do you know that MIT doesn't speak of "majors" but of "courses," and that the courses are numbered rather than named? So what everybody else in the world refers to as electrical engineering is known in the MIT community as "Course Six."

The students enrolled in Course Six have a T shirt with a sinusoidal wave graph on it, and the text "Six Hertz." Get it?

There's also one that says "Six Bytes," followed by six binary numbers. (Computer science is part of Course Six.)

I wasn't a student, so I wasn't eligible for those. But I do have the one with the acronym S.P.A.M.I.T., which stands for Stupid People At MIT, a mark of pride in the Squeech household...

10. Engineer's RULE!

We are not all stuffy people in white shirts, black rimmed glasses, slide rule in pockets and Brylcreamed hair!

When I got my ear pierced several years ago my boss thought I had gone off the deep end. He told me it was un-characteristic of an engineer....lol

My favorite observation is:

An optimist sees the glass as being half full..

A pessimist sees the glass as half empty...

The engineer sees the glass as being twice as big as it should be...
