"An Engineers Guide to Cats" - Funny YouTube vid.

I know I'm not a regular in these parts, but I've noticed you Loungers have an affinity for Cats.

I think this is hilarious. Very dry, monotonal and...well....funny!

I've been shaking my cats and they won't make noise.

Someone posted it before and I've watched over and over, now I think those guys are totally cute :loveya:

"Yowyowyowyowyowyowyow..." But I can't get mine to do it, either.

Thanks for posting.

Don't miss a great cat video!

Example:

Civil engineers build targets


Mechanical engineers blow them up.

Someone who couldn't handle electrical engineering, so dropped down to mechanical, then couldn't handle that, so dropped down to industrial, and couldn't handle that, so tried computer engineering, but couldn't handle that so tried construction engineering, and couldn't handle that, and so ended up with the choice of either civil engineering or industrial management and at least still had enough self-respect to go with civil engineering.

So far my kids are mechanical/chemical, civil, computer, mechanical and probably environmental. It really does seem as if selecting the major is a process of elimination! They're good at what they do, but the civil doesn't understand dynamics, the computer kid can't fathom thermo to save his life and the mechanical finds the computer courses surrealistic.

I did get one liberal arts major out of the bunch - she's studying urban planning!

I hold all other engineers, except the other legitimate kind - nuclear - in derision.

:rofl:

But, man, there really is an hierarchy of engineers, and the civil ones sit way, way, way down at the bottom. BUT - to give credit to the civil engineers - they are pretty much the only people who know how to build roads and use those funny little telescope thingies they use to make sure shit is level. I don't know how they do it, but they do.

Plus, I was an electrical engineer with as much emphasis as possible (we didn't have a minor in this, but I probably would have earned one had we had one) in physics.

:thumbsup: my techie hubby LOVED it. :D

I have referred some engineer friends to it.

The cat yodeling is the best! :rofl:

Three people were arrested during the French Revolution and sentenced to die by guillotine. One was an engineer and two were not. The executioner put the first person under the guillotine, but when the blade was released it somehow stopped just inches short of his neck. According to French law, they got only one chance to execute someone, so they had to release him. He was a free man. The executioner then put the second person under the guillotine. When the blade was released, again it malfunctioned and stopped just inches short of his neck. They released him; he was a free man. Then the executioner approached the engineer. But before he knelt down, the engineer pointed up at the blade and said, "I think I see the problem."

As I said, I don't post in here too often and though I looked to see if someone else had posted this already but didn't see that it had been done, I was sure I wasn't the first.

The conversation above about the hierarchy of engineers made me smile. A sign on the wall of a sales office I once visited said;

"There comes a point in the life of every project when Marketing must shoot the Engineer and release the product"

It had a picture of a Suit-and-Tie guy with a gun in his hand, aimed at the back of the head of a pocket-protector fellow sitting at a drafting table!

One of the bits that made me chuckle was the "Aspect Ratio" of the large cat! I had a cat like that several years ago.

"Mr. Fred" or "The Fredster" was such a cat. Fred was innately skilled at expanding his relative size to fit the available area. He loved me though. Only cat I ever owned. I miss him so. That's my pillow he's laying on, BTW.

Everything is outsourced to foreign nations now.
