Michele -- The trouble with engineers is that given the problem of knocking down a stack of 100 bricks, they will start at the top, and work all day removing them one at a time, while the mathematician will, after a momemt's thought, remove the bottom brick and be done with it. The "trouble" part, is having to brook the noise of the engineer boasting about how much harder he worked while one is trying to think about the next problem. - Bart Goddard in sci.math
