Sometimes engineers amaze me. Othertimes, they piss me off (but that's another story). What amazes me is the ability and need to sometimes think in such a massive scale...

I remember reading that the two towers on the Golden Gate bridge are several inches out of parallel to accomodate the curvature of the earth.

jeeze...

Watch the movie "Apollo 13" sometime for an example of what can be done when people do things based on "what is", rather than "what I want it to be".

You oughta see the engine it goes in. Some versions power the lakers we work on.
