Engineering

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

Engineering is a common genetic disorder which (like color blindness) is most commonly manifest among males.

[edit] Biological Characteristics

[edit] Symptoms

Symptoms of engineering include impaired physical coordination, stunted muscle growth, inability to, use commas effectively, spelling and grammatical incompetants, linguistic employment of sophisticated incomprehensible techno-jargon, impaired social skills, and an obtuse ignorance of all fashion rules. This combination of mental, physical and social dysfunctions has often been compared to other disabilities which would be insensitive to mention in a politically-correct article such as this. However, the most physcial symptom is a dance the victim performs involving dancing around waving two chisels in the air and stabbing people at random.

[edit] Treatment

There are no known permanent treatments for engineering. Temporary therapies include vodka, hookah and repeated percussive blows to the head. These can all be reversed by any amount of sleep, which means that the average engineer has to be treated regularly at least twice a week. Although note that the average engineer gets little more than 3 hours of sleep every night.

[edit] Propagation

The greatest mystery about engineering for a long time was its unexpectedly rapid propagation. The engineering discussed above tends to repel potential mates in industrialized cultures, yet engineer populations are increasing. Finally, in the late 19th century, famous whale biologist Charles Darwin discovered that engineers have evolved the ability to reproduce through an asexual process similar to mitosis. This explanation has the added benefit that it explains how engineers can reproduce without the presence of females. Engineers may therefore be a different species (which has tentatively been named homo erectus for it's compulsion to erect things), but biologists have been unable to find willing female subjects who are clean of engineering to test this idea for certain.

[edit] Social Characteristics

[edit] Pervasive Views

While those diagnosed with engineering are sociologically referred to as engineers, they are most often called nerd, dweebs, geeks, dorks, or system administrators. The derogatory nature of these terms hints at the pervasive bias against engineers in industrialized culture. This cultural bias has become known as technophobia, which derives from the greek technos ("nerd") and phobia ("fear").

[edit] Dispersion Demographics

Engineering is one of the most common untreatable disorders in developed ("first world") nations, but is curiously rare in less wealthy nations. There is still debate in immunological and sociological communities about why this is the case. One leading theory suggests that the flouridation of water is directly responsible, thanks to those damn pinko commie bastards. Others blame the extinction of the dinosaurs and the proliferation of plug-in air fresheners. None of these explanations have met with any wide acceptance among the scientific or fringe looney communities.
