Default Powerthirst: Engineering Edition

What if everything you ever wanted came in an engineering degree? Well, good news, it now does. In a misguided attempt at humor and also to satisfy the fictional product criteria for ENGG WEEK 2009, a group of engineers has created something that the rest of the world may not find amusing.

You may laugh, cry and possibly wet yourself if you have bladder problems. Without further ado, Powerthirst, the engineering edition.

PS The more views logged, the better score we get for that category on the scavenger hunt.

I hated engineers when I was in UG. Then I went to law school and realized they are a faculty like most other tightly nit faculties that have their quirks.

Then I went to the flames game last night and saw some dorks wearing Engg week coveralls. Those who didn't have coveralls had MECH or CHEM hoodies. They were exceptionally loud and obnoxious and I realized again why I hated them.

It's one thing to be annoying within your own little group, and so when outsiders voluntarily come around, it's at their own risk. But going out in public and annoying people because it's Engg week is just plain stupid.

Oh and they spelled "mediocre" in mediocre grades incorrectly. At first I thought it was their way of being ironic. They I realized they were gear heads and as such aren't that clever.


P.S. I thought the video was weak....sorry dude.

I didn't make the video. I take no responsibility for spelling errors inherent in the video.

Well since you didn't make the video, I can feel better about critisizing it and saying it was kind of annoying with too much "aww poor me, look at what engg did to me."

They have some great stuff, Powerthrist, Get to Know Halifax and Real Zone are my favourites.

For the record I thought the parody wasn't bad, it was a parody but I thought decently well done.
