Understanding Engineers - Take One:

Two engineering students were walking across a university campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"

The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, Minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want."

The second engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway."

To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Understanding Engineers - Take Three

A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a Particularly slow group of golfers.

The engineer fumed, "What's with those blokes? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!"

The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept Golf!"

The priest said, "Here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with Him."

He said, "Hello, George! What's wrong with that group ahead of us?

They're rather slow, aren't they?"

The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind fire fighters.

They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."

The group fell silent for a moment.

The priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."

The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything he can do for them."

The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?"

Understanding Engineers - Take Four

What is the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers?

Mechanical engineers build weapons and civil engineers build targets

Understanding Engineers - Take Five

The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work?" The

Graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work?" The

Graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?" The

Graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"

Understanding Engineers - Take Six

Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints." Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections." The last

one said, "No, actually it had to have been a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"

Understanding Engineers - Take Seven

Normal people believe that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it isn't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.

 
Understanding Engineers and cooking - Take Eight

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe:

Ingredients

01) 532.35 cm3 gluten

02) 4.9 cm3 NaHCO3

03) 4.9 cm3 refined halite

04) 236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride

05) 177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11

06) 177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11

07) 4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde

08) Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated protein

09) 473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao

10) 236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10)

To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/0F/ft2/hr, add ingredients one, two and three with constant agitation.

In a second 2-L reactor vessel (reactor #2) with a radial flow impeller operating at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five six and seven until the mixture is homogenous.

To reactor #2, add ingredient eight, followed by three equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor #1. Additionally, add ingredients nine and ten slowly, with constant agitation.

Care must be taken at this point in the reaction to control any temperature rise that may be the result of an exothermic reaction.

Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm).

Heat in a 4600K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnston's first order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55), or until golden brown.

Once the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 250C heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come to equilibrium.

Take 4! /3+1:

An engineer and a lawyer were vacationing in the south of France. They got to talking about how they came to be there.

The lawyer explained that his house had just burned down, and he was using part of the insurance money to take a vacation.

The engineer said "What a coincidence. My house was hit by a flood, and I am using part of the insurance money to take a vacation."

The lawyer said "How do you start a flood?"

 
The worst part is actually understanding the Chocolate Cookie Recipe. :dribble: :fie:

My SIL is a Civil Engineer, my cousin an Electrical Engineer. They'll "appreciate" these. :acute: :rofl:
