Linky Truth

This is exactly how everyone in Engineering thinks. Including me.

  1. "Minus" means too many electrons, and "plus" means not enough... ya, know, that is kinda odd-sounding.

  2. Electrons flow from positive to negative inside the source. What's the mystery? The point of hole theory was not to make it simple but to make it seem complex to the mere mortals. beyond that, though, it's a cool geek inside joke.

  3. I guess it's a bit late to claim at least this engineer isn't like that?

  4. It's never too late; that's what time travel's all about!

  5. Good one. Years ago, between the second round of the World War and the "Korean Police Action," my favorite professor called that "Franklin's mistake."

  6. That's why you're engineers and not physicists. Or MG mechanics.

    They tell me the back streets of Philadelphia were teeming with "Franklin's mistakes." They had to do with the property of all cats being grey in the dark.

  7. ...Oh, that I were an MG mechanic. Do you know any? I need one!

    As for Mr. Franklin, I have long been puzzled that General Washington is credited as the father of his country rather than Ben. I'm pretty sure Mr. Franklin's efforts along those lines met with remarkably greater success....
