The telephone book in the ski resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho, has a listing for one of the town's many (two-months out of the year) celebrities, Adam West. If you look him up in the white pages, you are directed to check out Bruce Wayne. Under Bruce Wayne, you are directed to Law Enforcement in the yellow pages. Since the real law enforcement is in the blue pages, they had a little fun and completed the circle by sending you back to Adam West.  Now, if I could only find his real home phone number.

That is only because the intersection of linguaphiles and engineers is nearly a null set. However, engineers are very interesting - to engineers, scientists, and quality managers.

>the intersection of linguaphiles and engineers is nearly a null set a common enough conception, but not epistemologically grounded....

I'm a member of a community chorus that does credible jobs on such light weight stuff as the Verdi Requiem the Bach B Minor Mass and similar stuff. At a weekend retreat we had one year, during the brief intro section where we all gave little pocket bios of ourselves I counted about 70% of the 30-40 people we had there had scientific, technical or engineering day jobs.

I went to school with the Beach (this surname obviously transliterated by some Ellis Island type) twins: Rocky and Sandy.

Odd street corners and connections in the U.S.: *The corner of Grinn and Barrett drives in West Chester, Ohio *Thisa Way leads to Thata Way and eventually to Bytha Way in Orange County, Calif. *Hickory and Dickory avenues, which intersect Dock Street in Harahan, La. *The corner of Ho and Hum roads in Carefree, Ariz. *Havateur Way in California. *Bland Street and Gore Road intersect in Pueblo, Colo. P.S. I love the Engineers > see Boring bit - I'll get a lot of mileage out of that one!

Full circle:
Merry Lane and Christmas Lane intersect not too far from where I live. Maybe Sparteye's newlyweds should consider moving there! It is now transitioned to a mostly Jewish neighborhood, but they still continue the Christmas decoration competition each year and folks from all over drive down the two streets to see the lights.
