You might be an engineer 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.
# It is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer.
# You frequently whistle the theme song to "MacGyver".
# 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 engineering 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-engineering 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. XD
[quoting my Physics II teacher, "Assume a spherical bird"]
# The blinking 12:00 on someone's VCR draws you in like a tractor beam to fix it.
# You bring a computer manual / technical journal as vacation reading.
# The salesperson at Circuit City can't answer any of your questions.
# You can't help eavesdropping in computer stores... and correcting the salesperson.
# You're in line for the guillotine... it stops working properly... and you offer to fix it.
# You go on the rides at Disneyland and sit backwards to see how they do the special effects.

# You have a habit of destroying things in order to see how they work.
# You have never backed up your hard drive.
# You haven't bought any new underwear or socks for yourself since you got married.
# You spent more on your calculator than on your wedding ring.
# You think that when people around you yawn, it's because they didn't get enough sleep.
# You would rather get more dots per inch than miles per gallon
# You've ever calculated how much you make per second.
# Your favorite James Bond character is "Q," the guy who makes the gadgets.
# You understood more than five of these jokes.
# You have used coat hangers and duct tape for something other than
hanging coats and taping ducts
# You can type 70 words a minute but can't read your own handwriting
# You can quote scenes from any Monty Python movie.
# When your Professor asks 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
# You can't remember where you parked your car for the 3rd time this week.
# You carry a list for everything except the groceries.
# You have ever taken the back off your TV just to see what's inside.
# You know how to take the cover off your computer, and what size screwdriver to use.
