Auditions anyone? Don't forget your pocket protector, slide rule, and horn rimmed glasses to "look" the part. If this flies, the messaging will be interesting to see.

Xera, this Dolly Parton is a cow and so named for her large udder. I didn't name the cow just watched it get milked at a dairy. These guys had interesting names for their cows. None were bad just interesting such as Raccoon, Snickers, Master Eight, etc.
Although I grew up farming, my uncle's cows were for beef not milk. I'd never seen one milked until last night.

The character "Q" in the James Bond movies...is an engineer, no?

It is not good enough to make the movie. People have to watch it, and cheer for the engineer. In the 60s version of Flight of the Phoenix, the engineer is German. This was back in the days when Germans were the bad guys, and I vaguely recall that he was sort of a good/bad guy. Try to guess who the Good Guy is in any movie with James Stewart in it.
Did anybody mention No Highway, this time with James Stewart as an engineer?
You can watch The Electric House on You Tube.
Is that a Neville Shute story? Neville Shute Norway was a top notch engineer.
Yep, google says so though confused as to the film title.... in the UK the same as the book, somewhere else as "No Highway in the Sky".
In the remake he was no longer a German...... Hardy Kruger was good in the original but.... the remake? And what was Bertie (Dr House) doing in that film? Fed up with playing second fiddle to a mouse I guess.

MacGyver was "trained as a scientist", and the Professor from Gilligan's Island held several degrees (B.A. from USC, a B.S. from UCLA, an M.A. from SMU and a Ph.D from TCU).

There's nothing wrong with farming. Just not normally thought of as sexy.
Remember it was ex-Germans that launched a V2 rocket into Mexico. Sort of made the predicessor to NASA look bad (a little history).
Degrees don't make someone smart. Just ask the press about our former presidents (present one also).

Then he was a scientist and not an engineer.
PS the second part of my last post, for those who didn't figure it out, referred to Flight of the Phoenix and not No Highway.

What about "Dam Busters" - an engineer figured out how to skip a bomb and blow up German dams in WWII
Still a great movie.... My wife hates it...

Sorry - didn't read through all the old posts very well.
Another movie - can't remember the name - but it dealt with the first British passenger jet that kept falling out of the sky. Like three of them if I remember.
The engineer figured it was a fatigue failure and proved it by testing.
It might have been "No Highway in the Sky" as previously mentioned. Just don't remember..
How about "Myth Busters". While I don't believe either is an engineer - they are pretty good at what they do...
