Rookie programer turns practice mechanism on.
Practice mechanism spins in circles, reverses, and spins in circles some more.
Rookie Programmer: That's not possible. But...I didn't tell it to...what the..wow...weird.
Advisor: This is going to be a long season.

Re: Top 10!

So far my favorite is something I've had to say to a rookie student:

"MY NAME IS D.J.!! NOT A.J., NOT C.J. NOT R.J., D.J.!!!"

"I know, but its fun to not call you the right name, R.J."

so I started calling the kid Cleatus until he gets my name right.

Re: Top 10!

-Its finally built, now lets take it apart to weld and paint it

-It's OK, that part only broke because our motors are so strong

-We can just use last years gyro ... wait ... now we can't.

-Why didn't the kit just come with 4 pneumatic Skyway wheels?

-Warning: Call of function without prototype, Why should I care?

-Linker Error ... Stupid compiler!

-Brian, why do we have to reload the code everytime we turn the bot off?

-Stop calling me Alan! I'm Brian!

-This program is too big for a floppy. Our State-of-The-Art data backup system has failed us.

-It's like they purposely put all the Otaku's (anime fans) on the programming team. No good can come of this.

"are u sure thats wired right?" (sees magic smoke)
"BIGELOW" (nothing good comes up when thats said)
