Need a Way to Use 225m of Blue Duct Tape?
pc-0x90 writes "In Canada, when engineers finish their undergraduate degree, they attend a ceremony referred to as Kipling. Alongside the formal ceremony are the kipling pranks. This year, the Software Engineers at McMaster University designed a life sized Pac-Man board, thus answering the question of whether or not software engineering is in fact engineering."

Just to let you know, I feel that comments like this are very inappropriate to say to anyone, either on-line or off-line. This is a very nasty personal insult; I have been to schools where this kind of language would not be allowed (it is "fighting language"; language which angers someone enough to start a fight in the real world).
As a result, I have placed you on my foes list. If you wish to be taken off of my foes list, please apologize to the person you have personally insulted, and mail me proof that you have done so.
You are free to continue using this kind of language, of course, but people will respect you less and your karma will undoubtably suffer.

The secret to enjoying Slashdot is to realize that it should not be taken too seriously.
Young man (trying to sound literate): "So, do you like Kipling?"
Young woman (suddenly coy): "Goodness, I don't know; I've never kippled before..."
Well, I thought it was funny.
There are only 10 types of people: those who understand decimal, those who don't, and, uh, 8 other types I forget.
You are the biggest wanker ever. Sweet Jesus...
