You might be an engineer if . . . . . . you have no life and can prove it mathematically. . . . you enjoy pain. . . . you know vector calculus but you can’t remember how to do long division. . . . you chuckle whenever anyone says “centrifugal force.” . . . you’ve actually ever used every single function on your graphing calculator. . . . when you look in the mirror, you see an engineering major. . . . it is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer. . . . you frequently whistle the theme song to “MacGyver.” . . . you always do homework on Friday nights. . . . you know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative of water. . . . you think in “math.” . . . you’ve calculated that the World Series actually diverges. . . . you hesitate to look at something because you don’t want to break down its wave function. . . . you have a pet named after a scientist. . . . you laugh at jokes about mathematicians. . . . the Humane Society has had you arrested because you actually performed the Schroedinger’s Cat Experiment. . . . you can translate English into Binary. . . . you can’t remember what’s behind the door in the science building which says "Exit.” . . . you have to bring a jacket with you, in the middle of summer, because there’s a wind-chill factor in the lab. . . . you are completely addicted to caffeine. . . . you avoid doing anything because you don’t want to contribute to the eventual heat-death of the universe. . . . you consider any non-science course “easy.” . . . 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. . . . the “fun” center of your brain has deteriorated from lack of use. . . . you’ll assume that a “horse” is a “sphere” in order to make the math easier. . . . you understood more than five of these indicators. . . . you make a hard copy of this list and post it on your office door. . . . you think it might be a neat idea to send this message to all of your friends in the form of email. . . . you know the glass is neither half full nor half empty; it's simply twice as big as it needs to be.

I can actually relate to a couple of those but you all know my fun center is still alive and kicking. If not, be at BBG on my next trip. :lotsofmichaelf:
Like the one that said you might be an engineer if it's sunny and 70 out and you're on the computer????? :wink: :wink: :wink:
