I'm an engineer, and sometimes people make fun of engineers. I'm ok with that. But what people don't know is that we have a sense of humor. Now everyone may not understand our sense of humor, but we do and we think its hilarious. Take the figure to the right.... this made me laugh out loud. This was an actual question and answer from a geometry test. The answer to the problem is x=5, but I think the student was very smart since the question does not say Solve for x, it says Find x. That's exactly what the student did.... I would have given him full credit!!!

Alex came home with a math paper the other day with the question: Can you make a multiplication question out of 9+9+9? His answer was "Yes I can."
