Control Systems Joke
Apr. 7th, 2006 03:57 pmI am back from National Space Symposium, in one piece, no less. Due to continuing madness, I haven't had a chance to write up my NSS stories (they are several, and they are good), but in the meantime, I will share with you the nerdiest joke I heard all week. If you never took a control systems class, you probably won't get it.
Q: A group of tourists from Warsaw are flying across the US. At one point, the pilot announces that they're passing over the Grand Canyon, which can be seen through the windows on the left. All the passengers get up to look out the windows, and the plane crashes. Why?
A: Too many Poles in the left half of the plane!
If that made sense, I dub thee "nerd".
