Engineers are hilarious

first off, what happens in vegas, stays in vegas. except for herpes, that shit stays with you forever.
*NOTE*
If you aren’t an engineer or math major, you probably won’t find this funny. I however couldn’t stop laughing for about 15 minutes.

Engineering joke from today:

Fellow employee 1: The lake I went fishing at last week is 3000 feet long and about 2000 feet wide at its widest.

Fellow employee 2: Wow! Thats almost a mile long.

I found this statement worth noting to a friend who works at honeywell and is also an engineer. we then moved onto a discussion about numbers that should be branded into everyones brain. Numbers such as 2.54, 9.81, 6.022X10^23, 3E8, 3.1415926535. I comment how that is a lot of numbers for pi. Then I tell him about the Pi Guy that went to KSU and how he has somewhere around 100,000 digits of pi memorized. He then went off on a rant about how 34 digits of pi can create a circle around our visible universe so accurate that no point will be a proton’s diamater off of a perfect circle. Then he mentioned that humans have calculated pi out past 59 billion digits. To which he questioned, why have we done that?

I replied: Its irrational.
