Engineers are more likely to be terrorists
I know that we have a few engineers on the board. You might want to monitor your peers closely.
Why do so many terrorists have engineering degrees? - By Benjamin Popper - Slate Magazine

You don't want to piss-off Engineers. Seriously.

Mechanical engineers design the physical world stuff, so yeah, of course we know the quickest path to make it fail.

What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers? Mechanical Engineers build weapon systems, Civil Engineers build targets.

The same is true with electronic/electrical circuits. I Let the sparkies deal with those, but I can sit down and rough it out if nesessary.

Engineers are always so PROUD of themselves, when it's physicists that allow them to do ANYTHING...

If it wasn't for physicists, there would be no planes, no explosives, no nuclear arms race...
In other words, WE get to take all of the credit for everything, good and bad ![]()

But they can inform the designers/engineers how deep to dig the outhouse to avoid being splashed with same.

Whoa, I had no idea a pissing match between physicists and engineers would break out when I posted the link. Quite entertaining.
Who makes the best terrorist? Continue...

I love attempting to explain medical issues to engineers. They are rigid, linear thinkers. The extraordinary variability of human physiologic response baffles and frustrates them.
I cracked up when Mike posted that he had charts and graphs documenting his infants bowel habits. Priceless! A lot of my friends are engineers. Frightfully bright group of people.

Chemists can make pretty good terrorists too. Or drug makers.
