That's so.. so.. um.. practical! :biggrin: Sure they don't glow in the dark and make funny noises like physicists, but I bet they're a heck of a lot more reliable.

But they aren't scientists!

Even though I'm a physicist I still wished for a mathematician :cry:

Getting an economist...follows the following equation:

[tex]Economist \equiv rock[/tex]

Pah. They're both just a cheap knockoff of a mathematician!

Yes but the mathematician doll doesn't really exist. You only get a picture of a doll.

The biologist doll comes with its own mold.

Sick, Ivan, very sick. I like that.
 
  • #40
The Chemist doll comes pre-stained, and the consultant doll comes with a list of excuses as to why the project is late.

I really think this has potential. :biggrin:

What is included with the Proctologist doll?

The philosophy doll comes with a McDonald's employment application.

Ivan, you're on quite a roll! I think it's time to run these ideas by Marketing.

the proctologist doll comes with an engineer. He helps with the transformation to a physicist.

See how I've compared an economist to a Dodge Neon and a physicist to a Ferrari? To continue this argument I would compare an engineer to a keychain
Yeah, neither will produce anything without the engineer.

geez, that's a typical engineer response. Seems so clever at first glance, but completely breaks down under examination.
I think I compared the engineer to a keychain, not a key.

A physicist?!? Math Is Hard you are so lucky you got one; they're in such short supply I wasn't able to get one this year. :cry: :cry: :cry:
Oh well, birthday's coming up later this month, maybe I can get one by then.

I thought all they did was drive the train

Well, I don't know. I've known quite a few physicists for quite a few years, and let me tell you - they don't really age all that well... :smile: :smile: :smile: (JUST KIDDING, IVAN, DEAR. YOU KNEW THAT I WOULD EVENTUALLY HAVE TO TOSS THIS IN HERE SOMEWHERE, NOW, DIDN'T YOU?? :smile:)

Right. Engineers hold the key to making things work. :smile:

Sure, we sit around holding pencils and wiggle them around when the boss comes in the room. :smile:

Weird ones that no one names anybody, like Issac, Galileo, and Wolfgang.

Indeed. I'd never give anything one of those names...

...doh!
