He's Built Different. Literally.

Well well well, what do we have here? A peregrine falcon looking suspiciously like an F-117 Nighthawk stealth bomber? Coincidence? I think NOT! The aerodynamic profile is practically identical! Clearly the government didn't even try to hide their "bird" prototype designs from their aircraft division. Next you'll tell me woodpeckers aren't just disguised jackhammers collecting soil samples. Wake up sheeple - nature doesn't do parallel evolution with military hardware! The falcon's "natural" stealth design predates our technology by millions of years? Sure, and I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you...

Engineers making 5 = 5 with the most unnecessarily complex equation possible? Yep, that tracks! 😂 The Springfield Department of Engineering is showing us the REAL engineering mindset - why solve something simply when you can make it ridiculously complicated? That equation is the engineering equivalent of using a rocket launcher to open a jar of pickles! Every engineering student knows this pain. You spend four years learning calculus, differential equations, and thermodynamics just to end up approximating π as 3 and saying "eh, close enough" in the real world. Engineering: where we make simple things complicated and complicated things "good enough for government work"!

The joke here is that Bob claims to be 28 years old while clearly looking like he's in his 60s or 70s! Engineering has aged him like fine milk left in the desert. Every deadline, every "minor change" from clients, every code that worked yesterday but mysteriously fails today has transformed our poor Bob from a fresh-faced graduate into the human embodiment of stress. His smile hides the trauma of a thousand CAD crashes and the haunting memory of forgetting to save before a power outage. Engineering: flexible as a brick and stress-free as juggling nitroglycerin!

Mathematicians get irrationally excited when they discover they can transform a volume integral into a surface integral. The Stokes' theorem is basically the mathematical equivalent of finding a shortcut that saves you three hours of calculation. That smug "meme man" knows he just bypassed pages of integration by parts. Vector calculus students either worship this theorem or have nightmares about it—there is no in-between.

The perfect encapsulation of the engineering student lifecycle! First panel: existential dread and differential equations have broken your spirit. Second panel: suddenly you're designing rocket ships and running computational fluid dynamics simulations on Formula 1 cars. The duality of engineering education—where you oscillate between "the only constant is suffering" and "OMG I'M BUILDING ACTUAL ROCKETS" faster than a harmonic oscillator. The transformation from traumatized hard-hat wearer to slightly-less-traumatized hard-hat wearer who can now make cool stuff is *chef's kiss* accurate.

Engineering ethics? I hardly knew her! 🚀 Nothing quite like watching fresh-faced engineering graduates suddenly develop amnesia about their "I want to save the world" senior thesis when Lockheed Martin waves that six-figure salary and premium healthcare benefits. Turns out principles have a surprisingly exact dollar value! The internal monologue goes from "sustainable future for humanity" to "how many missiles can I optimize per quarter?" faster than you can say "military-industrial complex." It's the STEM version of selling your soul, except instead of meeting the devil at a crossroads, you're signing paperwork in a corporate office with free snacks!
