Those indicators are basically spot on. If you think of any more, feel free to add them! I'll leave you with one final joke, Q: What do engineers use for birth control? A: Their personalities.
Havoc Stryphe Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 Ooh, those are good! 3 of my best friends in High School and throughout College are now Engineers (2 Mechanical, 1 Robotic), and let me tell you, these fit to a "T"! *copies into email and sends to friends* Ooh, their gonna hate me!
WolfmanNCSU Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 Pretty good. I am an engineer student, so I lot I have heard before. I can probablly think of some more, but I am too lazy this morning.
Wraith 8 Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 *reads post* *gets nervous* *raises voice* THIS IS NOT TRUE! ITS A LIE!! *truns around and starts looking with a grumpy face* *walks away very slowly*
WolfmanNCSU Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 Its just engineer humor I guess. Not for the humanity minded... LOL

Boba Rhett Posted June 19, 2002 Author Posted June 19, 2002 Homer, I don't really know how to tell you this but..... you're adopted. JOKE.
Treacherous Mercenary Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 LMFAO!! Most of those fit me well as I plan on being an engineer (possibly) .
Kryllith Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 I fit a couple, and understand a few more, but I've nothing to do with more of the advanced ones (like Calculus, though I am teaching it to myself in my spare time at work *ACK*). I have had a couple ferrets named after moons of Jupiter... maybe I'm an astronomer... Kryllith
