    Which reminds me of the difference between civil and mechanical engineers. Civil engineers design large structures so that mechanical engineers can design methods of destroying them.

    A civil engineer, a mechanical engineer, and an electrical engineer were having a debate over what kind of engineer the creator was.

    "He must be a mechanical engineer, the way all the bones, tendons, muscles work together" said the mechanical enginner.

    "No" said the electrical engineer "he must be an electrical engineer, for all that is controlled by electrical impulses through the nerves from the brain."

    "You're both wrong." Said the civil engineer.

    "How so?" asked the mechanical engineer.

    "The creator is a civil engineer" came the reply "who else would put a sewer so close to a playground?"

    So you see, all engineers are a bit different. Not just the ones who happen to like kilt making.

    Software engineers.... now there's a different breed of cat. Wait until we get a hardcore machine language reading geek making kilts. We will all be praying for more C.O.F.s' .

    Just my guess.
