>Comprehending Engineers - Take Eight
>************************************
>Three engineering students were discussing the philosophical question of
>who designed the human body.  One said,  "It must have been a mechanical
>engineer.  >Just look at all those joints.''

>The second said, "No, it was an electrical engineer.  The nervous system
>is comprised of millions of electrical connections.''

>The third said, ``Actually it was a civil engineer.  Who else would put
>a wastewater treatment facility adjacent to a major recreational area?''



>Comprehending Engineers - Take Two
>**********************************
>In the high school gym, all the girls in the class were lined up
>against one wall, and all the boys against the opposite wall.
>Every ten seconds, they stepped toward each other until they
>were separated by half the previous distance.
>
>A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer were asked to solve
>the following problem:  How long until the girls and the boys meet?
>
>The mathematician said, "Never."
>The physicist said, "Wrong.  In an infinite amount of time."
>The engineer said, "Well... in about two minutes, they'll be close
>enough  for all practical purposes."
