I fully admit, I am a geek, I belong to an engineering fraternity :) At any rate, we have a lot of fun, but every now and then things happen that would only happen at a party with engineers. I so decided to compile a list of the best 'you know you're....' phrases, so help me out!

When someboy tells that joke about which kind of engineer designed the human body.

I forget the other parts but the punch line is:

Obvously a Civil Engineer, who else would put a toxic waste line in a recreational area.

Ok its not a phrase, so sue me

You know you are at an engineers party when

When there is a chip bowl full of ICs!

...it's a sausage party. :Q

actually, you'd be surprised.

ok fine... you know you're at an engineering party when there are 6-7's being treated like 10's.

:p

The tensile strength of the balloons is more important than the drinks.

:shrug: I don't know any engineers, so that's the best I can do. It's better than the sausage party thing though.

When someone (me) comes up with the phrase in my sig.
I came up with it when I was drinking.
Now, sometimes we toast to it, some times we say it after a shot.

Heh...I'm in a social fraternity, but all the guys are engineering majors save 2 (1 architecture, and 1 poli-sci). Of course, our campus also posesses a 3:1 guys to girls ratio, is the only chapter of a nationally dry fraternity that is actually dry, and was ranked in the top 20 by Princeton Review in the "Stone Cold Sober Campus" Category. Although...being in Chicago, there are, oh, I don't know, millions of people within a 50 mile radius, of which there exist many, many campuses with just as heavy a girls/guys ratio as ours...only backwards. :D

A philosopher, a mathematician, and an engineer are sitting around shootin the bull...the philosopher asks, "If there is a hot chick standing against the wall, and you walk towards her such that every time you move forward you move half the distance between the two of you, while you ever reach her?"

"Sadly, no," says the mathematician.

"I can get close enough!" exclaims the engineer.

you know you're at an engineering party when ... you realize you are at an engineering party. (it's recursive)

ba dum *crash*

But not quite correct!
The mathematician would be well aware of the fact that he would cross any line drawn on the floor, so he can get there very nicly, thank you.

Of course you just might be an engineering student if:

If you have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically.

If you enjoy pain.

If you know vector calculus but you can't remember how
to do long division.

If you chuckle whenever anyone says "centrifugal force."

If you've actually used every single function on your
graphing calculator.

If when you look in a mirror, you see an engineering major.

If it is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are
working on a computer.

If you frequently whistle the theme song to "MacGyver."

If you always do homework on Friday nights.

If you know how to integrate a chicken and can take the
derivative of water.

If you think in "math."

If you've calculated that the World Series actually
diverges.

If you hesitate to look at something because you don't
want to break down its wave function.

If you have a pet named after an engineer.

If you laugh at jokes about mathematicians.

If the Humane society has you arrested because you
actually performed the Schrodinger's Cat experiment.

If you can translate English into Binary.

If you can't remember what's behind the door in the
engineering building which says "Exit."

If you have to bring a jacket with you, in the middle
of summer, because there's a wind-chill factor in
the lab.

If you are completely addicted to caffeine.

If you avoid doing anything because you don't want to
contribute to the eventual heat-death of the universe.

If you consider ANY non-science course "easy."

If 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.

If the "fun" center of your brain has deteriorated from
lack of use.

If you'll assume that a "horse" is a "sphere" in order
to make the math easier.

If you understood more than five of these indicators.

If you make a hard copy of this list, and post it on
your door.
