You know, I've been told to my face I can't be an engineer because I'm blonde. How about some black jokes then?

Get a blue rinse. It'll have a great effect on your street cred.

Well, they're wrong. I had one of them self-open at room temp less than 30 minutes after coming out of the fridge. Scared the bejeebers out of my wife. On a related note, a bottle of sparkling wine shot its cork in the same manner, just sitting there on the table. "Chateau Wink", whose slogan should be "It's ;) champagne". Nasty stuff, but was cheap and contained alcohol. Can't ask for much more than that.

Pop open, yes. Explode and spew, no.

While I'm not sure how far they could shoot under warmer conditions, they did more than just pop open...all over the kitchen counter at room temperature.* On the other hand, the brains joke is obviously a joke, whether they could shoot that far or not. *What is room temperature? I mean, whatever the temperature is in the room, isn't that room temperature? ;P

Jokes make prejudice acceptable? Do you know what make prejudicial jokes possible? Language. Do you know what makes language possible? Intelligence. Perhaps we should not allow intelligence. That would get rid of the jokes about stereotypes, and might reduce the amount of prejudice in the world. Of course, I don't really believe any of that. I'm demonstrating the point that something should not go away simply because it facilitates something else. Especially when that something else (in this case, prejudice) would find another way to manifest. In a less general sense, joking can also act to enlighten. George Carlin was a master at this. Telling a joke is a good way to tell somebody something that they would otherwise not listen to. Probably most blonde jokes are not delivered in order to enlighten. However, an enlightened mind will see jokes for what they are. Stupid people will find a way to be prejudiced, and not telling jokes isn't going to stop them.

They categorize everything. It simply is not possible to treat every single aspect of life as though it has no characteristics in common with other aspects. That is even more true when dealing with other people. Unless someone eliminates humor entirely then any facet that is known to humanity is open to it. That includes categorization.

I am unclear as to your point. Are you suggesting that you can't be an engineer because that person said that? Or that you can't be an engineer because they hurt your feelings? Or perhaps you are stating that you are in fact an engineer and thus the person said that does not in fact know how to judge what makes an engineer? But then as an engineer you are letting the false opinion of someone who lacks the ability to make a realistic judgment to impact your outlook on life in some way? Myself I have been insulted in many ways in my life. And that includes being excluded based solely on such preconceived notions. However I chose to define my life by those the react positively to me and ignore those who have issues. Certainly in my experience the later group is at the very least lacking in social skills and often do not have the ability to accurately judge others anyways. So why give any more credence to an opinion that is probably worthless anyways?

Yes, and not have had children, thus removing themselves (and their genes) from the gene-pool, re: darwinism , aka "survival of the fittest" (extinction of the not so fit.)

That "what?" was in response to the fact that he said he meant Darwin candidate, which still didn't fit with the requirements for the award.
Ah ok. just saw your previous post in the chain.
