These engineering and science tech-centric
jokes, song parodies, anecdotes and assorted humor have been collected from friends
and websites across the Internet. I check back occasionally for new fodder, but
it seems all the old content is reappearing all over (like this is). The humor is
light-hearted and clean and sometimes slightly assaultive to the easily-offended,
so you are forewarned. It is all workplace-safe.
Humor #1,
#2, #3
After years of looking through engineering magazines and visiting engineering websites, I have begun to notice a
similarity between some commonly seen faces of the industry and faces of celebrities. I realize that in person
someone could look nothing like someone that he resembles in a photograph, but that is what I have to work with.
These photos have not been altered from their originals other than possibly cropping and brightness adjustments.
If one image is gray scale, then the other is also converted to gray scale for a better comparison. See if you
agree with these examples.
Note: These comparisons are not intended to poke fun at anyone; it's just
that I have a tendency to relate similar faces.
Send me your examples and I'll publish them.
