I would like to give everyone here a good idea of how geeky WPI is. First, a short quote:

After saying something wrong to your girlfriend, you yell "Control Z, Control Z!"

And now for the other 420 Top Signs that you belong at WPI: Geek@WPI.

Warning: the link is a very long list, but it is a hilarious insight to daily life at WPI. Take it in stages. And then marvel at how I have managed to stay somewhat sane.

I could go on, but that would just bore you, and the webpage does a damn good job showing how quirky and fun engineers can be. Screw it. I'll torture you anyways.


366. You and your friends have ever tried to make the bubbler shoot farther or have colder water.

367. You break the bubbler attempting the above. (It can be done!)

###. You do this before going out on a Tuesday night. (Playing field is dark)

221. When someone on your floor has derived the equation for one of the bubblers and posted it above the water fountain itself, complete with picture and notes showing all work.

222. You graph the above equation [f(x) := ((-19/135)*x^2)+((38/15))*x;] in Maple, realize it's wrong and fix it.

Sorry, I needed to revel in geekiness for a minute, as I have missed being at school greatly. I hope you enjoyed the select quotes, and I hope you read the entire thing, as there are many of them that are damn funny. I don't know if all of them being 100% true to be a good thing or a bad thing yet.
