So ... do you think that someone over yonder at MSNBC might have lost their job over this one?

Many have answered you, but the pronounciaton is Nye - jer, if that helps.

Recovering_Democrat makes a good point in reply # 128. Imagine Mr. Innes were a Democratic consultant. Imagine Fox News had committed this act (either accidentally or on purpose). Would Fox News still be in business a week or two from now?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Good point! They would be falling all over themselves....and blaming some low level graphics tech.....who would need to change careers because he/she would be blackballed.....

Don't hold your breath waiting for Jesse on this one

"...hell, all engineers for that matter, can not, and I repeat CAN NOT belly laugh!"

That is absolutely false!
You are occupationally profiling, you evil conservative hatemonger! >/sarcasm<

[BlueLancer]

Is that like "Barney Fag"?

[Republic of Texas]

No one will even get a reprimand. Don't you know it's perfectly ok for liberals to be racists. God help a Conservative who even makes an honest mistake like this. BTW, NIGER Innis is a CONSERVATIVE, which makes it doubly ok for the liberals to slur his name.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Oh yea!!!! Well, I'm a domestic Goddess! Profile that, you, you, you...Engineer!!! (lol)

[Constitution Day]

You know, engineers have feelings too! (in a rational, quantifiable, logical way)

Thanks guys, for opening my eyes...no longer will I lump all engineers together in one emotionless,humorless class. From this day forth, thanks to your insight, I will venture out into the world to change the misconceptions of all the Engineers of the world, be they mechanical, chemical,biomedical, civil, or even, dare I say it, Train Engineers!

Viva la Engineers!

[Constitution Day]

Ahhh... I just feel so warm and fuzzy now from all the positive energy you're sending my way!

PS - Don't leave out Sanitation Engineers. >:~)

The socialists wouldn't just put them out of business, they'd burn the studios down, and get away with it.

Thanks, there's a lot of misconceptions out there. We just want to be understood.

I remember a time when myself and my college roommate were taking a basic electrical engineering course (the kind watered-down for mechanical engineering students like ourselves). EE is a little different from say, ME or ChemE, in that they usually do not have to practice religious attention to units, since there are no "Imperial" electrical units, and they do not have to tolerate such cryptic units such as microsiemens, in-lb-s^2, etc. Anyway, we were working feverishly through some EE homework one night when my roommate looks up from his book, paper, and calculator and asks very sincerely,

"What are the units for volts?"

Viva la Engineers!

Bump!

[JavaTheHutt]

BTTT!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

That paragraph that you wrote describing your study while in college.... zoom....flew right past my head, almost took a couple of hairs.... just flew right by.... lol

Thanks Palmetto....you have proven, once again, the humor of engineers! lol

[Palmetto]

Sorry....I didn't include my response to his question, which was,

"Volts is volts, baby! Volts is VOLTS!"

[Chad Fairbanks]

Cool!

That reminds me of a joke about 'Asynchronous Transfer Protocol'... ;0)
