In Honor of National Engineers' Week

Frequently heard around our home is the saying, "a physicist's job is to ask 'WHY', but an engineer's job is to ask 'HOW'."  We present to you Da Boyz - as kittens - demonstrating that cats have that one quality inherent in every good engineer:

 Curiosity, and a desire to figure out how things work.

[Notice the boys work at it, until "HOW" is figured out.]



To this day, Maxwell will periodically jump up onto the bookcase where the Newton's Cradle is stored...and the "clack-clack-clack" of balls being struck is heard throughout the house as he starts it up again.

Brilliant. (Not that we're prejudiced or anything. Nope. Not one bit.)

Happy National Engineer's Week!

Maxwell the Engineer-Kitteh

Did I mention I'm the AFLETE in the Fambly? Mommy calls me her little Tarzan cuz I'm always swinging off something in the house!


Faraday! Contrary to your opinion, it's not Always About You! *sigh *
Today it's Maxwell's turn. With a brief Interlude so I can show off my Chanukah Collar. *pats coiffure & poses*


Allie, no one cares about your bling. Puh-LEEZ. And I was juuuust trying to give Context:  I'm the aflete, Maxie's the brains. See?
Duhhhh-h-h-h....What did you think I was doing?


*blushes* No, guys, that's all right. Really. I'm kinda not much of an attention hog. (As opposed to Tarzan, you know.) Though I am curious about How Things Work. Papa sez that's cuz I have an Engineer's Mind.
