Are you sure you told that joke correctly? I would have thought it went something like "a climate scientist once told me that there are three kinds of scientists; the good ones, and those that can't even count"!
Or do I detect a smidge of self deprication there?

I think the latter. It's like that other oldie, "I usta couldn't even spell enjenere, and now I are one!"
Or maybe not ...

Sometimes it seems everyone wants to be an engineer.
Just today I saw a job title Cost Engineer.
Now what the hell is that?

It won't be long now before Polywell limps into line behind tokamaks in the 'flunked out fusion' queue. But I'll give it another.. how long was it now?... 12mths or so before assuming the worst.
