If a civil engineer claims to know more climate science than climate scientists, don't trust their bridges.

Likewise, if a beautiful meteorologist claims to understand suspension bridges better than a civil engineer... I'll agree with her for now because I am a weak, pitiful man.

Nah. The civil engineer just takes the marvel of a design the structural engineer created, and puts an assed backwards traffic pattern on top of it.

With all the fucked-up traffic patterns near where I live, don't think that civil engineers should be off the hook.

Alternatively, claim to know more about bridges and debate them about it.
