  1. Re:Breeding Geek Girls... on Girls not Going into CS · · Score: 0
    Even when a woman *is* an engineer (as in Firefly), she comes off as a bit odd and disconnected from her peers.

    All we'd need to do is follow a simple four step plan.

    2) Proclaim ourselves a Nuclear state.
    3) Declare war on the US
    4) Surrender

    These steps should all be done in within the space of an afternoon. Once complete, we apply for foreign-aid from the US, and live fat and happy on the sunny beaches of North Dakota.
