Green gone wrong

There's a lot of talk about "Green" and Green Engineering. Everything in going Green...Green, Greener, Greenest. Somewhere out there I'm sure there are Engineering positions with the title "Green Engineer".

As we move into the future, there will be more and more Green Engineers. Scientists will go Green to give the Green Engineers more work to do. Of course, the Green Scientist will become smarter and more powerful. Until one day, the inevitable will happen; There will be a Green Mad Scientist. The Green Mad Scientist will then try to take over the world. The Green Mad Scientists will make Green Monsters that will terrorize humanity, but be good for the environment.

These Green Mad Scientists will start working with Green Artificial Intelligence. The Green Artificial Intelligence will develop more adaptable, more specific, and smarter shades of color Green.

These smart shades of the color Green will become smarter and smarter until, one day...there will be super intelligent shades of the color Green wanting to take over the world.

So beware of Green Engineering and the inevitable super intelligent shades of the color Green.

(With apologizes to Douglas Adams and Tthe Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and to the Super Intelligent shades of the color Blue. You're super intelligent, but not as super intelligent as the super intelligent shades of the color Green.)

Obligatory mention of NI, LabWindows CVI, Test Engineering, and even LabVIEW. I'll write about you all next week.

I gotta ask, what were you thinking when you came up with this?

Do you have to much time on your hands? I'm telling you, you need a girl friend.

First, yes, I need a girl friend...but that's a different subject.

Second, when you say what's 2 and 2 most people get "4" or "22". I get an Omega Symbol or the color for #000022.

I was listening to the Hitchhikers guide radio program and put that together with shades of the color Green, and "POOF!" super intelligent shades of the color Green trying to take over the world.

Funny post! It inspired me to follow suit.

Sometimes irony and satire work very well. When they fall flat on the internet, without the benefit of facial expressions, they can fall flatter than a bit of fluff hitting the surface of a neutron star.

Well, I guess I'll keep my day job...as a super intelligent shade of the color Green. It doesn't pay well, but at least I'm kept busy taking over the world.
