Perhaps Mrs. Clinton can find that guy who developed the 100 miles/gallon carburator and free him from imprisonment by the big car companies?

Hah! I have heard that one before. I even have met engineers (computer) that bought it. They believed some hearsay that their uncle told them over my explanation (mechanical engineer) that there is a maximum possible efficiency of thermal cycle and that current carburetors get pretty near that... and that I had done lab exercises that proved it for a class. But no, he trusted what his uncle said a guy told him who know a guy... etc.

Heard the story about the three professors sharing a ride to lunch in a computer science prof's car? The car just quit dead in the middle of the street. "Looks like your timing belt broke" said the mechanical engineering prof.

"Aw, no", the EE prof replied. "I bet your ignition module burned out".

"Can't we just all get out and get back in again?" asked the computer science professor.
