Conversation I had yesterday with my lab partner:
Him: Well I'm off to Engineering Club.
Me: Ah, gonna build some bridges?*
Him: Yeah, last year we had this great bridge. The idea was to build a bridge that would collapse at a preset point.
Me: Stress testing?
Him: Yeah. Ours, of course, broke somewhere else.
Me: Was this for Statics?
Him: No, this was the Bridge Competition, seperate from Statics. But, I thought you weren't going to take Statics.
Me: I'm not.
Him: Then how did you know about the bridge building thing?
Me: You're engineers, what the hell else are you gonna do?
Him: Good point.
Ah, academia.
* Actually a pun on clubs, meeting people and building bridges between them--he didn't get it. Did you?

Nothing specific or big, just have it in for maintenance and am beginning to realize how expensive a Beemer is to maintain, an "Ouch! Use lube, will ya'?" kinda' thang...
