  • If this is supposed to be an engineer's joke, then I don't get it.  Picking words from different science-textbook chapters and then paying someone to read them is not really funny. Sad thing is Rockwell automation is a real company.

    All I can say is search google for "DeltaV."

  • It's funny because it serves as a "gut check" for engineers. We get so wrapped up in technical lingo sometimes, we don't realize that most people don't have any clue what we're saying. When this guy rattles on about lotus-deltoid windings and such, it sounds almost real. God knows this is what I hear when electrical engineers talk!

  • At first I almost bought into this, so I sent it to an electrical engineer just to be certain. This is an OLD joke among engineers - like their version of the Aristocrats joke - going back to the 1940s. The thing behind the announcer in this video is simply a bank of large circuit breaker panels. You can find these in any building.

  • Yes it's old, it was originally called the Turbo Encabulator and was printed and circulated. Then this group of guys who make technical instructional videos got ahold of it and this was the result. I'm a mechanical engineer and I almost bought into it until he started talking about a panametric fan and side fumbling. Funny stuff.

  • Well I personally found it hilarious, and I see that my two spurving bearings run a direct line to my panametric fan at least once a day.

  • Finally, NO SIDEFUMBLING!

  • The guy nearly loses it around 1:46

  • I need a new encabulator! my old one is way too prone to side fumbling :(

  • @hilslamer I lol'ed.

  • @jaivette What a lame political joke.

  • of course. I mean like duh! Who wouldn't do it this way? I have always religioned my flux capacitor with a Graham meter.

  • Can I get one at Radio Shack?

  • To be more scientific, I would heed in wording it the following way: the stater would be severely malfunctional with concurrent defibrilubrication and feminization of the masculine in every location, thus inhibiting the transfertilization of matter and energy in one continuum of mortification and vivification. That is most pertinent in both the technoeconomical and soco-cultural, the reason being the textualization recontextualization of comprehension of wanderlust.

  • The stater would be malfunctional with concurrent defibrilubrication and feminization of men everywhere.

  • I'd sell him coke for a handjob.

  • i need one... NOW
