unlucky mate, sure youll find someone. try farming or engineering, youll get some then it would seem
gotta remember these for when i finish my degree now

Top 10 reasons to date an ENGINEER
Description:
10. The world does revolve around us... we choose the coordinate system.
9. No "couple" enjoy a better "moment".
8. We know how to handle stress and strain in a relationship.
7. We have significant figures.
6. We understand the motion of rigid bodies.
5. Projectile motion: Do we need to say more?
4. Engineers do it to specification.
3. According to Newton, if two bodies interact, their forces are equal and opposite.
2. We know it's not the length of the vector that counts, but how you apply the force.
1. WE KNOW THE RIGHT HAND RULE!
Makes me happy i'm doing an engineering degree!
They'd apply just as well to physicists and applied mathematicians (except the specification one, but that's just lame anyway).

What? 'moment', 'significant figure', 'projectile motion', Newton's Laws, 'vector', 'force' are all terms you'd know if you've been at school until the age of 18
thats how you know schools are getting worse, I'd learnt all that before i started gcse's, most of those i would have learnt before high school
Seriously the only reason I would expect any engineer to not know any of those terms is if they had been in a significant car accident resulting in a partial frontal lobotomy, even then you'd probably remember a couple of them.
EDIT:- as with the last post, they don't sound good, and really aren't even that funny, maybe not funny at all, can't tell, to early/late depending on how you look at it.

Yeah but, when you have the position you don't have the momentum and when you have the momentum you don't have the position.

That's quantum physics not engineering, lol =]

The Heisenberg principle doesn't apply to us because we never measure anything precisely anyway
Like in my labs last week: "how much potassium permanganate shall we use?" "I reckon about 5 kg should do it." The pure chemists in the room all looked a bit shocked

A kid in my school (he was about 12) was given a piece of solid potassium permanganate in a little tub, they were gonna add it to water. He just went "heyy sambucca shots" and "downed" the piece of potassium... except he didn't down it, it stayed in his mouth. The teacher rinsed his mouth out, then he went to hospital. His mouth was burned and stayed brown for a couple of weeks.
The solid stuff is nasty, we have the powdered solid here. It's pretty brutal stuff, it oxidises really quickly on the surface. I almost put some in my eye without thinking when I went to scratch my eye (safety goggles are itchy) - I was about an inch away before realising that, in fact, I'd rather my eyes weren't burned out!

That would have been mega nasty
Yeah, we'd been through all the COSHH stuff beforehand (have to when you're doing labs on a relatively big scale like us) and I think the "wash it out with water" would've become "find a massive pool of water and jump in"
Thankfully I realised that strong oxidising agent + eye = not a good combination. Well that's another reason to date an Engineer, we're daring but we know that protection is important

I actually laughed at this one.
As a future engineering student, found the first ones alright, not that funny.
Learnt most of that stuff by about year 10 :/
