Could you see a standup comedy night featuring only engineers? :^) -Richard

My girlfriend tells me that "Dilbert" isn't nearly as funny as I think it is. I laugh a lot, but not much makes me split a gut for 5 minutes (litterally) other than Dilbert, which manages to do that a fair bit.

I got to admit, I'm pretty far out of things… What's Dilbert? -Richard

Dilbert is an engineer who works in a dysfunctional company. You can catch him in a comic strip which has been compiled into 5 (I think) books so far…

Five books so far and a Web Site called The Dilbert Zone at http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert // Christian – AutoPilot 1.80 \X/

What is scary about Dilbert is that 1/2 of the "jokes" are exactly what tha company I work for does. Is really creepy and many times so literal that is not funny to us (but hilarious to others).

You get bonus points in Dogbert's New Ruling Class if you start a rumor at your company that Scott Adams is really a pen name for an employee there and that the strip really *is* about your company.

Oh bummer. I think I am late for that since the rumor has benn going on for weeks now. Hmmmm, we still can figure out who is Dogbert in our company though, everyone else takes places in each character. Hmmm, wasthere a price for this, cause it there was I can find out who started the rumor.
