Without it, we'd probably still be in a deep
recession.

This based upon your liberal arts studies of economics?

In undergrad, I majored in Mechanical Engineering, with a minor in
economics.

I guess not of it really *hit home* then, did it?

Nobby, did any of your engineering profs tell you that the laws of
physics can be trumped by faith & ideology? No wonder you became a
dentist, I would be afraid to drive over any bridge you built.

I still build bridges, but it'd be impossible to drive across any of 'em.

I'd would not want to deive across any bridge designed by a mechanical
engineer. :-)
But then I would not want a podiatrist to perform brain surgery either.

Why not? Any decent mechanical engineering curriculum covers all that is
needed.

So, who did you get to perform your brain surgery? A lawn mower repair man?

Personally I hope to avoid both Nobby's sort of bridges (both the dental
and the dream varieties), and brain surgery no matter who performs it.

really? What do you call

"Dynamics of rigid Bodies"
"Principles & Applications of Eng. Materials"
"Mechanics of Materials"

Designing a bridge was a freshman statics exercise when I was in school.

Clueless as usual

Agreed.

DSK

I had Civil Engineering I and II in my ME program. It followed Statics and
Design.

"not of it really hit home"? It appears that I retained more from Econ than
you did from English.

Ah, so, you want to make this an argument about typing, and
grammatical errors? What a dim bulb you are.
