Who`s the Cutest?

[Hobbes]

Well?

Hobbes :)

[Jon Boy]

Is there really any question?

[katharina]

Not at all. Of course it's Calvin. :)

Our Hobbes, on the other hand, is absolutely adorable, in the cute and sweet sense. :wub:

Where's Papa Moose when you need him?

[Hobbes]

Hey, it's Hobbes from the cartoon, not me... unless your Kat... ;)

Hobbes :)

[Papa Moose]

I'm not needed here. There's nothing for me to be relieved about, and I'm not the grammar nazi who'd need to attack the title and at least one reply.

[GreNME]

:o

[Hobbes]

Jeez, this was supposed to be just an innocent little poll. :blink:

Hobbes :)

[Papa Moose]

I hope I didn't sound upset. I was trying to be snooty, and apparently I'm not very good at it.

[katharina]

your Kat

Whose Kat? This kat belongs to nobody...

Pop, sadly, every day I see more and more wisdom in Tom's (j/k ;)) habit.

[Hobbes]

Don't worry Popa Moose, I was just trying to be ... umm... well the point is I got what you were doing so don't use Tom's double joking sign! :D

And Kat, I've been pretty good at getting the you're right in general and I think that coming from me, a slip up every now and again isn't that bad. Because grammer sucks and that's just the way it is. :P :ph34r:

Hobbes :)

[saxon75]

Don't worry Pop, I thought your joke was funny.

[katharina]

I think that coming from me, a slip up every now and again isn't that bad.*sigh* Somebody's letting his cute-as-a-kitten traits go straight to his head. What's next, a free pass to use 's for pluralization?

[Hobbes]

All cutie's do that! :D

Hobbes :)

[saxon75]

Because grammer sucks and that's just the way it is. So does spelling. :P

[Hobbes]

Exactly.

Hobbes :)

[Jon Boy]

I like to look at it in a glass-is-half-full kind of way: Thanks to people who can't use language perfectly, I have a well-paying job.

[Hobbes]

From an engineer's perspective, the glass is two times the appropriate size. :D

Hobbes :)

[saxon75]

It pains me that I found that funny.

[Hobbes]

It pains me that you found that funny Saxon.

[Hobbes]

And welcome to the advanced members club! The refreshments and women are over there *points*. :D :P :D

Hobbes :)

[saxon75]

I guess I ought to enjoy it while it lasts. I mean, pretty soon they'll be letting pretty much anyone into the club.

[katharina]

In the advanced members' club, they are making engineering jokes.

Good luck with the accouterments mentioned, boys!

[saxon75]

I'll have you know that engineers are quite expert at procuring quality refreshments.

[celia60]

wow, saxon, you're an advanced member? i don't know why, but suddenly you seem so much smarter and funnier.

*giggles and waves*

do you think he saw me?

*giggles*

[Hobbes]

*Passes some refreshments over to Saxon.*

So there’s a mathematician and a physicist and an engineer, and they’re all applying for the same job. The interviewer brings the mathematician into a room and hands him a little red rubber ball. He then asks the mathematician to find the volume of the ball. So the mathematician takes out some string and measures the circumference of the ball and calculates the volume from that.

The interviewer then brings in the physicists and poses the same problem. So the physicist measures the volume of water, inserts the ball, re-measures the water and calculates the volume from that.

Finally the interviewer takes the engineer, and gives him the ball and asks him to find the volume. So the engineer finds the serial number of the ball and looks it up in his Little Red Rubber Ball table.

:D

Ugh, that's an old joke.

Let me see if I remember another old one well enough. Told to me by a civil while we were mixing a high strengh to weight ratio concrete:

A mechanical, electrical and civil engineer are discussing the nature of God. They all agree that He is some sort of engineer, but they cannot decide which type would have made woman. (Women, of course, being a greater mystery to engineers than God - my comment when i was told this joke)

The ME points out the digestive system and says that's simply the finest engine a mechanical engineer could build and that only an ME could have done that.

The EE comments that the female mind is so complex that only an electrical engineer could have programmed it.

The CE laughs, and says, "God has to be a civil, who else would build a sewer line through a recreational area?"

[Hobbes]

Ugh, that's an old joke.

Let me see if I remember another old one well enough. Told to me by a student while disucssing chemistry.

There’s a mathematician, physicist, and biologist. They’re all sitting on the patio of a café watching people walk by. The physicist looks across the street and sees a house with no lights inside. They discuss it and decide that the house must be empty. Then two people walk in, and later on 3 people walk out. Naturally the 3 try to figure out what happened. The physicists says “There must have been an error in our original measurement”. “No” the biologist replies, “They could’ve reproduced while inside”. The mathematician thinks about it for a while and says “If one more person goes into that house, it’ll be empty.”

:D

[celia60]

i love that joke, i would have posted it, but it isn't about engineers! :P

[Hobbes]

Ohh yah, Mrs. Purest engineer, that's why your doing cell reasearch for your MechE degree. :P ;) ;) :P
