You Might Be An Engineering Major...
You Might Be An Engineering Major...
If...
- You have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically.
- You enjoy pain.
- You know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long division.
- You chuckle whenever anyone says "centrifugal force."
- You've actually used every single function on your graphing calculator.
- When you look in a mirror, you see a engineering major.
- It is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer.
- You frequently whistle the theme song to "MacGyver."
- You always do homework on Friday nights.
- You know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative of water.
- You think in "math."
- You've calculated that the World Series actually diverges.
- You hesitate to look at something because you don't want to break down its wave function.
- You have a pet named after a scientist.
- You laugh at jokes about mathematicians.
- The Humane society has you arrested because you actually performed the Schrodinger's Cat experiment.
- You can translate English into Binary.
- You can't remember what's behind the door in the science building which says "Exit."
- You have to bring a jacket with you, in the middle of summer, because there's a wind-chill factor in the lab.
- You are completely addicted to caffeine.
- You avoid doing anything because you don't want to contribute to the eventual heat-death of the universe.
- You consider ANY non-science course "easy."
- When your professor asks you where your homework is, you claim to have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely, that according to Heisenberg it could be anywhere in the universe.
- The "fun" center of your brain has deteriorated from lack of use.
- You'll assume that a "horse" is a "sphere" in order to make the math easier.
- You understood more than five of these indicators.
- You make a hard copy of this list, and post it on your door. (editor's note: maybe it should be "put it on your web page")
- These indicators apply to you, there is good reason to suspect that you might be classified as a engineering major. I hope this clears up any confusion.
