    oh, ha ha, in the article they mention

    "Dunwoody pointed out that a few years ago, students engineered a sculpture of 6,400 cans of food and the proceeds later went to the food bank."

    That was my girlfriend and some of her sorority sisters.

    I think the practice of stealing "E"'s has been take off the list now. After skulk night you would see large E's missing from signs and such all over Vancouver.

    Busted! Bit of an embarrassment--the first ones to get caught red-handed. Sounded like a little more planning was in order. Christ, you'd think Osama bin Laden had rode into town the way the news was going on about it yesterday.

    I note that this chap Dunwoody is the dean. Guess the real dean is smart enough ot be out of town the first week in February.

    Can't wait till they see what they got planned next year, just before the Olympics. They'lll have to think that one out pretty good. You won't be able to swing a fish without hitting a cop in Vancouver.

    What an epic fail. They've brought shame to their forebears.

    They got caught, remove their "E"!

    They can be forever known as "Ingineers"

    Hmm. Not so fast. The felony conviction might result in their expulsion. 8O

    Why "Ingineers"?

    It's not just that they got caught.... it's that they got caught and FAILED.


    It's our weird attachment to the letter "E".

    They couldn't be Engineers for the reasons you mention above.

    So they can be "Ingineers" instead.

    :wink:

    Yeah, I've never figured that out. I knew one who used to rip off cutlery from Earl's for his apartment.

    It is like crop circles, once you get caught the whole mysticism of the prank goes away and instead of aliens visiting us and leaving messages it is just stupidly over intelligent kids jacking off....but at a certian point in your life you got to give it up and let another group of kids take over and hopefully never get caught...

    I'd guess they used to get a pass for these little pranks but it looks like their time is up. It's a stale joke and they need to go onto something else.

    That said, I don't think the punishment should fit the crime and Gordo could find some shovel work for these folks. Maybe some hands on experience will remind them what the real world is like.
