A rare ingenious DBLP (Bob Colwell)

For those engineers/researchers who enjoy humor, and even for the other lot who don't fathom why and how scientific humor could be invented, this DBLP is uniquely ingenious.

From Bob Colwell: Presentation Lessons from Comedians -

You’re sitting in yet another interminable conference session. Man, this chair gets more uncomfortable by the millisecond. Who’s that over there? He looks like Mike Meyers from this angle. Or maybe Mini Me. What’s that interminable droning sound? Oops, that’s the speaker going on and on about ... whatever his topic is. You can’t remember—your mind has been wandering for the past 10 minutes.

Another one from Bob Colwell : Engineering Follies -

Our confidence in our instructor having thus been substantially diminished, we moved even farther away from the experimental apparatus. Meanwhile, this intrepid grad student now demonstrated whatever is the exact opposite of an intuitive sense for how physics works: He reinserted the now-bent calibration device and told us the problem was that the shaft had not had enough weight on it—an error that he now undertook to correct by standing on it. Then he told us to turn on the power to the motor.

And, you must read *in detail* about "the guy who turned on the motor/generator during the assisted suicide incident". (Reference - Bob Colwell : Engineering Follies). Its not worth a miss. Not at all !
