I have a little calendar on my desk at work with jokes explaining philosophical ideas. The current topic is "the argument from analogy" and here is today's offering:
Three engineering students are discussing what sort of god must have designed the human body. The first says, "God must be a mechanical engineer. Look at all the joints." The second says, "I think God must be an electrical engineer. The nervous system has thousands of electrical connections." The third says, "Actually, God is a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic-waste pipeline through a recreational area?"
