    Here is a wallpaper I made for a pal who is a devoted engineer.



    As Dilbert said, you know you're an engineer when someone asks you:

    Q "You have 7 pens in your pockets. How many of them do you need?"

    A "All of them"

    You can never have enough pens!



    The Wire is great. I have the first 3 seasons on box set. Haven't seen any of season 4 yet.

    My brother is a big fan as well and he is going to Baltimore in a few days for a work thing.
    He'll get to see those corners and towers and all the hustle and flow for real!

    Did you know that Baltimore is from the Irish Baile an ti more?

    Need something better than that to pull 'em, Sonny.
    Look at the ramparts of victory.
    That's more worthy of an engineer . . .

    Oh right the image.

    Well you see these kind of bumper stickers or joke signs in offices:

    Accounts do it by the numbers
    Musicians do it with their instruments
    Firemen do it with a big hose
    Policemen do it with handcuffs and a big stick

    It's just a bit of suggestive fun on the fact that so much of
    engineering involves precise measurement.

    Oh, and I coloured the nut pink so it symbolises a woman.


    I know, I have too much time on my hands :)
