What do you want to talk about OP?

sidenote: do you think I should update the code side?

One summer, an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician were vacationing in England. Wanting to see the countryside, they boarded a train and were staring out the window when the train passed a single sheep grazing in the field.

The engineer promptly remarked, "I see the sheep in England are black."

To which the physicist replied, "No, sir. What we know is that this single sheep is black."

To which the mathematician angrily corrected, "No, you fools! What we know is that there is one sheep in England and one half of it is black."
A biologist, a mathematician, and a engineer are sitting by an empty building. Two people enter, then shortly after, 3 walk out. The engineer remarks, 'We must have miscounted', The biologist remarks 'They must have multiplied. The mathmetician thinks, and remarks 'If one more person goes in, the building will be empty again.'
Mathematician, Physicist, Engineer walking through a field come upon a farmer.

The farmer asks what is the best way to construct a fence that will contain his livestock (ie., most area for least perimeter). The physicist does some calculus and concludes that the best way to do this is a square fence. The engineer looks at him and laughs. "No, the best way is a circle". The physicist concedes and they start building the fence.

The mathematician just sits there for a while and eventually stands up, puts a small piece around himself and says "I declare myself to be outside"


Werner Heisenberg, Kurt Godel and Noam Chomsky walk into a bar.
Heisenberg looks around the bar and says, "Because there are three of us and because this is a bar, it must be a joke. But the question remains, is it funny or not?"

And Godel thinks for a moment and says, "Well, because we're inside the joke, we can't tell whether it's funny. We'd have to be outside looking at it."

And Chomsky looks at both of them and says, "Of course it's funny. You're just telling it wrong."

as the amount of time and effort increases, the number of problems for which there exists no engineering solution approaches zero

true story

funny story
i had no idea what engineers did before i started going to school
