Joke of the Day
Three engineers were sitting in a bar talking about God
The electrical engineer says "God is clearly an electrical engineer. Look at the nervous system! The vast network of nerves and all those neurons firing..."
The mechanical engineer jumps in "No, God is obviously a mechanical engineer. What better example of the power of levers than the muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons!"
The civil engineer says "You're both wrong. God is a civil engineer. Who else would run a waste disposal line right through a prime recreational area?"
