Re: pic: Graduation Present
Yes, engineering is serious business. There is potential danger involved with building a machine. That said, sometimes it is appropriate to joke about something that is serious as long as everyone knows it is a joke. Anybody that frequents this forum should know that an engineer needs more then a hammer so I suppose I'm making the assumption that anyone reading this should know I was joking. I've heard many professional engineers say something along the lines of "You only need two things. (blank) if it isn't moving and should be. And (blank) if it is moving and shouldn't". In general, I've found engineers to have a good sense of humor that helps them deal with the stress that they go through every day. That said, this thread reminded me of a video I re-discovered recently when searching youtube for "chiefdelphi" by mistake. Some of you might remember it. I think its pretty clear what part of the video I was reminded of.
