Engineers

I got thinking about explaining every day things to oridinary people as opposed to engineers and i came up with this good analogy.


Earth as drawn simply for a normal person.








Now the Engineers format for displaying the earth.




Although this remains up in the air, it could change after it is checked and brought up to proper engineering standards. Then signed by 13 million people and double checked by a few dozen more people. Once it gets rejected a couple times it will go back through that process and come out roughly the same as it did when it went in, but they will change the font from Arial to Times New Roman.



While this is not a perfect representation I think it gets my point across fairly efficiently. Leave it to the engineer to think efficiency when making paint drawings.
