Too funny - a nameless friend of mine - the one with the Masters in Finite Element Analysis (masters in engineering degree, microscopic analysis of what happens to steel, other metals when under load, shock stress, etc) was working for a large automobile manufacturer.

His work centered on developing better cylinder head bolts - able to hold torque better, don't snap under stress load, etc.

HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT A CYLINDER HEAD WAS - admitted that to me! Just did the analysis, presented the results. Hopefully someone was able to tie his work back to the automobile!!!! Scary!


Hublar - some of the smartest, most creative and productive people I've known never went to University or College - they CHOSE not to go. They felt it was a waste of their time.
